Hi,<br />
<br />
A very simple way is to simply call ShellExecute with passing the DOS command in as a parameter. E.g. to create a copy of c:\1.txt as c:\2.txt we can use the following:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; ShellExecute(<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Application.Handle, 'open', 'cmd.exe', <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; '/c copy c:\1.txt c:\2.txt', // this way we told cmd.exe to execute copy ...<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);<br />
<br />
Should you need to wait for the outcome (exit code), a better solution would be using the CreateProcess API.<br />
<br />
But in case you need the output (stdout) things can get complicated. Do you?

Hi,

delphi : how to execute a cmd command?

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.

Delphi

Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, largely (but not exclusively) intended to teach students structured programming and data structuring. Pasca was implemented on a wide range of architectures, from early PCs to mainframes. Pascal derivatives include OOP-based Object Pascal (used in Delphi and Lazarus/Free Pascal). Pascal is a purely procedural language and includes control statements with reserved words, but has many data structuring facilities and other abstractions like type definitions, records, pointers, enumerations, and sets.

Pascal

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
