Simple C programming question.

[elendil]

Mjallow.

I was just wondering if it is possible to easily execute programs within a C program.

What I mean is that I remember arexx had a command (forgot the name) that would do:
command-name c:wait 10, for example, running the wait program.

I could use that functionality, at least, though you probably shake your heads at me

Also what am I to do with the a.out file gcc produces when I type gcc filename? I am lousy at this, I know, I am used to java and lpc without linkers and makefiles and what-not I have on clue about

Sincerely,

EDIT: I just noticed I posted this in software discussion or something. I am not fully into this, I just his post new thread while reading another. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hey!

You were right. a.out was my compiled program. I just thought I remembered that stormC generated an a.out file AND a file to be executed, but I am probably wrong (it was a long time ago).

I will go try that System-thing right away. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

And as you promised the system() function worked super as well.

Even though I forgot the include, but I suppose gcc included it for me then.

Roger that and thanks again.
