C++ Executing CMD Commands

by

Redirecting the output to your own pipe is a tidier solution because it avoids creating the output file, but this works fine:

ShellExecute(0, "open", "cmd.exe", "/C ipconfig > out.txt", 0, SW_HIDE);

You don’t see the cmd window and the output is redirected as expected.

Your code is probably failing (apart from the /C thing) because you specify the path as "c:\projects\b" rather than "c:\\projects\\b".
