Hi nietod - you're typing fast ;-)<br />
Well, this usually can be done using the 'system()' command.<br />
However, if you specialize on a certain platform (e.g. UN*X, NT, Win9x) there are eventually more sophistcated wayd to do this (NOTE: 'dir' in DOS is a built-in shell command, you'll have to use the command line 'command.com /k dir').<br />

I want to write a program that would invoke other commands on the system (ex: dir (dos) or ls(unix)). Can someone give me a hint on how to get this done? Thanks in advance.

invoking other programs

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
