How do i perform Window commands?

[SylverTech]

i started learning c++ 2 months ago but i still haven't figured out how to do the MSDOS commands from c++ (i know the "call" command)
like for example changing the password of the current user and so forth

what I know is that you can use system("any_dos_command_here"), try and see if it works for you, but you have to include cstdlib.h

What I think your trying to do is use window's commands from command prompt?

Try using the

Code:

system();

command. An example would be an MS ping command.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "This is a ping test.";
    system("ping www.google.com");
    return 0;
}

Hope this helps!

that's what I told him ^^

the thing with the system command is every time you run a new system () call it creates a new shell, so doing something like

Code:

int main ()
{
     system ("cd /D C:\\");
     system ("cd");
     system ("pause >nul");
}

instead of printing out C:\ for the second system call it would still print the working directory of the program.

Oh yeah you're right, but is there any alternative ??

Call a batch file from C++, that should allow you to run multiple commands in the same shell.
