a simple wget in C language?

[olivier HARO]

Hello everybody,

I have a little problem with a littre program i'm writting :


I use the system(char* s) function in my program to retreve an information.
The problem is that when wget in launched and as retrieved the file, my
program stops instatanly....

So I see two possible solutions :
1\ making system() not exiting after executin wget
2\ building a little wget as a function of my program

but I don't know how to do such things ... that's why I'm here

Someone could help me? (sorry for the bad englesh )

Do you mind posting a small working case of your code.

No, please don't. wget is off-topic here, as is anything run by
system() (but not the call to system itself). I think you want
comp.unix.programmer (or similar).

Minti has been around here before, and should know better than to
encourage off-topic postings.

Thanks, but I just did not want to get to the conclusion straight away that
the problem was caused by @system@.

Not in standard C.

I have found a issue ....
ok, this is a little dirty but it works

when i use a sleep() after the system() ... the program goes on...
in fact, the program don't wait the end of the system() function execution
to continue executing the next lines.
That's why it was bugging....

sleep() is not a standard C function either.

indeed, not in standaard C. But there are some libraries which come
in pretty handy, like libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/)
