Run a dos command through c++

[Scholar]

Hi, I am using a 16-bit compliler and i wanted to execute a dos commmand through c++ using system() command.I wrote the following code but it didn't help


#include<proces s.h>
void main()
{
system("c:\\win dows\\system32\ \Notepad");
}

I even tried wid 'system("notepa d")' but even tht didn't run the command.Plz tell me if i am going wrong anywhere...

Doesn't work when running from IDE for me (because of ENOMEM) , but works when running 16-bit executable outside of ide from command line prompt.

Check the return code from system(). That could provide a clue to what's going wrong.

Try Notepad.exe instead of Notepad
