Start program with excel from "MS Visual Studio"

[Zero]

Hi C-community!

How do I start the program
MyProg.exe with the parameter "Tuesday 2006",
which can be found in the folder "Microsoft Visual Studio"?

I want to use the function excel from process.h!

Does anybody have a solution??

Thanks for your help!

Even if this was topical, you did not provide enough information for
someone to help you. Ask yourself: "on what disk is this application of
mine?"

These are non-standard. You'd better ask in one of the M$ groups.

For a standard, but still non portable way, look up `system()`
function:

#include <stdlib.h>

system("d:\path\dir\MyProg.exe \"Tuesday 2006\"");

Problem with system:

The console which is opened when running system is visible while the
started program is running.

You're welcome, but please quote context. Usenet is not a message board

As I said, you'll have to ask in the group dealing with your system.
Here, only Standard C (as defined by ISO/ANSI) is discussed.

You can use any of the functions from the exec family. It seems better
to use execlp for your case. I think the microsoft visual studio's
library provides the standard exec functions themselves. Read the msdn
entry for the execlp. You can supply the arguments in the call itself.

Whatever you are talking about it is virtually incomprehensible
lacking context. However there are no such things as "standard
exec functions" in C. The closest thing is the system function.
Microsofts library has nothing to do with standard C, and is
off-topic here.
