Hi
 
I have this C program running on windows xp and it's
calling system("ls -la c:\mydir >
c:\mydir\tmp\lookup.txt") to list "mydir" and pipe the
result to a file "lookup.txt" the subdirectory "tmp".
 
For some reason it's not able to create the file
"lookup.txt" on this particular computer.  The same
program works on my other computers running windows
xp.
 
However, if I execute "ls -la c:\mydir >
c:\mydir\tmp\lookup.txt" in a command prompt, it works
fine.  Thus it's not a permissions issue...
 
What could be missing on this computer?
 
Thank you
