Windows Command in C++

[farshad]

Hello,

Could someone tell me which way can we use windows command(for example
Create New Folder) in visual c++ programing or use dos command without
using dos prompt.

best regards

Hi,

Could old dos/unix programming use mkdir().

In windows use CreateDirectory()

The (non-Standard and off-topic) functions inside <direct.h>, such as
_mkdir(), can make a directory.

The Standard way to run a command prompt is system("mkdir newFolder");

To drive your Win32 Explorer shell as an object you must learn COM, which is
no picnic. Peek at /Visual C++ Windows Shell Programming/ by Dino Esposito
to see how hard it can be.

You really don't need either advanced way; always start with the simple
kernel-level functions first.

Heya,

The C++ standard doesn't cover these platform-specific issues. However,
if you're wanting to create directories and manipulate files take a look
at boost::filesystem
(http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm). It's very
portable and widely used.
