Executing the executable

[Vikram]

Using Microsft Visual Studio C++ 6.0, I have compiled my code and I
need to execute this executable by specifying my input file and my
output file, eg. ./DMDC2 input > output. Input file is a separate
normal file and not a visual C++ file.

OK.
Open up a DOS prompt, go to the directory where the exe resides and
start it.

To bad most people in these days no longer know how to operate
a command line.

<OT>If he wants to debug the code you can add command line arguments in
the project settings</OT>

As a hunch: microsoft.public.vstudio.general seems alive and might be
able to help you better...

That was a great companion of mine from age 7 upwards.

What is a "separate normal file" and how does it differ from:
o A text file
o A database file
o A Microsoft Word file?
o A JPEG file?
o A MPeg file?
o A visual C++ project file?
I think most of these are normal files.

Look up the system() function.

Also, look at your operating system help file. The
operating system may have functions to execute other
files.
