   Executing an executable
  How does a person execute an executable in c++, i.e. run a program with in a prgram? Does it have to do wth the window shell? I was using _popen but it is iritating, and i feel like i'm using it wrong.Well, thanx in advance.   
  If you're running windows, use the system() call: system("C:\\Yada\\Yada.exe");[Edited by - Enselic on June 4, 2006 1:08:56 AM];  spawnl( P_NOWAITO, "program_name.exe", "program_name.exe", 0 );should be POSIX standard. I believe it works on Win32/Unix.   ;  oh, sw33t!!!  hey, is there any libs needed for these(i don't have a compiler with me at the momment)?   ;  See also CreateProcess and ShellExecute   ;  There's also fork/exec (wait, I have more of a linux background, does windows have the concept of 'exec', where a process kills itself and executes something else, but with the same pid?)   ;  Nope, not that I'm aware of.
