I don't know. What do you mean by "not working"? Post a snippet of your code and describe the results you are (or aren't) getting.

what is the function's return value? error code?

maybe you should consider using spawn*() instead?

Try to execute the .exe of your program. ie compile your program and create an executable file and run it. Sometime, running the dos commands within the IDE through C/C++ may not work.

Some system are not working because the parameter you pass to function is system dependent. For example system("clear&quot work under Linux, but not under DOS, because DOS doesn't have command clear. Its analog in DOS is cls, but system("cls&quot work under DOS but doesn't work under Linux because of the same. John Fill

The system() function works well when you call internal commands, like dir, mk, etc.

If you want call other type of commands try ShellExecute().

Hope this help. Sorry about my bad english.

go to Option then go to Debugger then
change the Program Heap Size from 64k to 640k.
it works on my computer should work on yours too.
