Great answer about the kernel32..


Now, what about running the command prompt functions?

<div>
I would rather try to CreateProcess &nbsp;using &quot;command.com&quot; as an application name and change its standard input and output in lpStartupInfo argument for CreateProcess call. The reason is because (as I guess) all those commands (&quot;copy&quot;, &quot;dir&quot; etc) are being translated to &quot;real&quot; commands somewhere inside the dll, and the way it is done is not guaranteed to stay unchanged. On the contrary, the syntax of &quot;copy&quot; etc should not change. I did not try this trick myself yet though.

I'd like to find a list of available functions or is it procedures that are within Kernel32.dll and also shell32.dll if possible. &nbsp;I havent had any luck with this.<br />
<br />
Also, CAN I run command prompt functions suchs as &quot;copy, rename, delete, mkdir....etc&quot; and expecially<br />
&quot;DIR&quot; programatically, using a dll.?.<br />

Kernel32.dll function index?   Programatically run dos commands.....

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
