redirection in delphi 3
I NEED TO LAUNCH AN .EXE AND GET THE PARAMETERS FROM A FILE THAT IS NEEDED BY THE
EXE. I'M TRYING TO USE A DOS COMMAND LIKE
MYPROG.EXE < FILENAME.EXT. THIS IS CALLED REDIRECTION IN DOS, REDIRECTING THE COMMAND LINE KEYBOARD INPUT INTO A FILE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS IN DELPHI 3.
I CAN LAUNCH THE PROGRAM USING WINEXEC,SHELLEXECUTE, AND CREATEPROCESS; BUT I CAN'T PASS THE NEEDED PARAMETERS FOR THAT .EXE.
