I am trying to remember the syntax for system calls using c++. I was pretty sure that the syntax was
system("some command");
but apparently this is not correct!
Also what include file do you use? Is it <system>?
Thanks!

The syntax is just like you write, e.g.

system(&quot;cls&quot;);

to clear a console screen. You can include <stdlib.h> or <process.h>. :) Hope that this helped! ;-)
