Here is my problem. I want to run a specific DOS program from another
c++ program. This program is in a specific directory on my computer,
and i need to be able to have the user input the program to run. To do
this i'm using char arrays, and the string class. I've tried teh
system function, but it doesn't access specific directories, or at
least i haven't been able to get it to access specific directories. I
need help finding a way to run this second program within my c++
program. (The purpose for running the program is to copy a script into
a text file from that programs execution) any ideas, or further
questions for clarity, are welcome. Thanks in advance

CreateProcess does allow me to run the program as i desire to. My
question is, will I be able to output the results of the new process to
a file, as well as to the screen, or is this beyond the scope of that
function. I'm unfimiliar with how to use the handles, and how to
manipulate them for multiple outputs. Thanks for the direction so far.

thanks again, for now i'll continue looking into the createprocess()
function, see what i can do with these pipes.
