I am trying to make a system call using the system function in C. I have read some of the previous postings on the newsgroup, but I am still stuck. I am trying to do the following command, which calls an executable file and supplies it with an input file. It then pipes the output to an otuput file. system("cmd /c c:\"users\"mmurdoch\"ACE\"sixs < c:\"users\"mmurdoch\"ACE\"sixSIn.txt > c:\"users\"mmurdoch\"ACE\"sixSOut.txt"); I do have the "sh.exe" file in my \bin directory.
