Hello,

I need to call an external .bat file with two arguments from my Upp application.

My app built the String commandline before before to pass it to
system(commandline).

The problem: system(commandline) does not work.

But if I save the content of the string commandline I get

C:\upp20081\out\MINGW.Gui\plugin\javafo.bat C:\VegaTornei\CopiadirdcA08\ rdcA08.kxf

then I copy it in a DOS shell and at the return key the command is performed very well. So, the string is built correctly but system() does not operate correctly.

Perhaps "String" class collide with system()? Is there an Upp method to perform the same thing?

I tried to use CreateProcess() but the compiler cry for problem about conversion with Upp string.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Luigi
