how to hide command prompt

hi all,
iam sending a copy command to command prompt with system () api.. but command prompt is poping up.

I want to hide the command prompt.

is there any other way to do it.

thanx in advance

Take a look at the following FAQ...

That was great.

Is this correct ?

iam using copy c:\test.txt d:\test2.txt
doing this with system()

this pops up the command prompt.
=======
the equivalent of this in your FAQ is

ShellExecute(0,"open","c:\\windows\\cmd.exe", "c:\test.txt d:\test2.txt", 0,SW_HIDE);

Will this hide the command prompt...

Why not use the Windows CopyFile API - much simpler.

No...since you are explicitly creating one by starting 'cmd.exe'.

Nevertheless, I missed the 'copy operation' part in the original message...there exists of course better functions to use...e.g. 'CopyFile()'...

Why do you want to create a new process for that?
