Well, a batch file is just text. You don't bother to tell us what you want to do. It could be as simple as printing out the batch file, or executing the batch file, or it could be as complex as attempting to convert the batch file to an equivalent C++ program. My crystal is in the shop for "ball" joints, so I'm not able to read your mind right this minute.

Let me suggest that you read the "How to Post a Question" thread that is stuck at the top of this forum. If you haven't read the rules, please do that, too. There's a link there to Eric Raymond's "Smart Questions." Recommended reading.

:icon_cheesygrin:haha..fair enough...okay...could you please tell me how to convert the batch file code to c++ code..if its not to much work, one more question, is it a single command to convert the whole batch file or does it have to be line by line? :-/

thanks in advance.

Re: c++ code to read from batch file
 

Ok you want to convert platform dependant shell commands in a batch file (which could be a linux shell script or windows DOS .bat file blah blah... these are all batch files) into C++ Source code in like one command ??? I doubt that exists very much.

Or do you want to compile a batch file into an executable?

I googled Batch File C++ converter translator and compiler. There were various hits. One that kept coming up was Quick Batch Compiler which looked interesting. I'll let you decide.

Im talking bout a dos .bat file, not a linux one, and i have tried the quick batch file compiler before you pointed it out to me, it worked perfectly, but it is not what i require, i want to convert the batch codes to equivalent c++ codes, and be able to view them just for my knowlegde...was wondering if anyone could help me with that..:S

thanks anyway :)

Re: c++ code to read from batch file
 

What knowledge are you trying to glean ??

Do you mean you want to disassemble the batch commands to see how they actually work?

IMHO that's *hardest* way to learn.

:S...No... i just want the c++ equivalent of batch code...im sure that there is a way of determining that:-/

Stop giving him a hard time, I'm pretty sure this is all he wants to know: The function "system" executes a windows batch command in C/C++.

myBatch.bat

myApp.cpp

Note: The "\" is an escape character. It's used before each a quotation mark around "Hello World!" so that C++ does not think those quotations are closing the quotation that started before "echo".

May want to include the conio.h header file when using the system() function.
