1. I gave some links that could help in your previous thread about running .bat (.cmd) files.

2. To get the result of "dir command" you don't need starting ms dos dir. There are Windows APIs (FindFirstFile/FindNextFile/FindClose) and their MFC wrapper (CFileFind class) that you should use.

MS Dos copy and mkdir have corresponding Win32 "analogs": CopyFile and CreateDirectory.

Sorry, I haven't understood what you meant!
if "what Win32 APIs could be used for copy and delete" then:
CopyFile
DeleteFile

See the post#2 in this thread.

So what will he store in file or buffer by copy or delete command ?.

And what kind of information is supposed to be stored "in file or buffer by copy or delete command"?
And what for?

[hypheni]

Oh yes I didn't check that he asked for values to be read from console. I though he asked for output screen to be saved in file stream.

You can of course redirect the output of any console command to a file which can then be read. However, I'm unclear as to why one would do such a thing. Perhaps if you clarified your high-level objective rather than focusing on your present strategy?
