Hello idkfa46,

You can always use "system" function from c standard library to call external application.

// Example for GNU/Linux
#include <cstdlib>

int main() {
    system("/home/user/a.out"); // <- This function doesn't return program standard output!
}

Sincerely,
Klugier

Hi Matteo,

Of course, everything is possible with U++ Wink

There are actually two ways. If you simply need to launch another program and wait until it finishes, there are Sys() functions. If you need to interact with the program or run it in non-blocking way, the there is LocalProcess class. Both options are documented.

Best regards,
Honza
