nbtstat inclution

[peewster]

Hi all,

i've managed to include nbtstat in a program i'm working on, but there's something not working as it should.

When i run nbtstat from my program, it starts, but shows no output to my console app. Ofcourse it does show output from the cmd line.

I also tried writing the output to a text file, but the file is empty after running nbstat -A ip

This is how i use the function:

void nbtstat()
{
	string user_input, lookup_again;
	do {
	system("cls");
	cout << "\nEnter URL or IP: ";
	cin.ignore(256,'\n');
	getline(cin, user_input);
	user_input.erase(remove_if(user_input.begin(), user_input.end(), IsSpaceOrCR), user_input.end());
	system("cls");
// Without the redirection to test.txt, the screen stays empty in the app.
	system(("C:\\Windows\\System32\\nbtstat.exe -A " + user_input + " > %TEMP%\\test.txt").c_str()); 
		system("pause"); // Only for debugging purpose.
                cout << "Done." << endl;
		cout << "\nTry again?" << endl;
		cout << "\n(Y)es or (N)o: ";
		cin >> lookup_again;
	} while(lookup_again=="Y" || lookup_again=="Yes" || lookup_again=="y" || lookup_again=="yes");
}

Any ideas ? Or maybe a different way to get the information i need without nbtstat but with a C++ function ?

I don't know which function that does the same as nbstat but here's a link to a bunch of network functions http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx
