    Hi I recently started computer programming. For anyone who has done it i am doing the basic hello world type programs. However my problem is after i compile the file and try to run it the cmd flashes and goes off every time. Now i have tried entering system("pause"); but still this isnt working. Any help would be great!

    have you tried to call the program by opening CMD and navigating to that directory and running it?

    If I have bat files they run and then close the CMD window automatically but when I open CMD first and then call them, the CMD window remains

    Hope that helps!

    I just tried that there and it worked fine! However i still think the problem remains as it wont run from the actual folder! Thanks though at least i know it's working!

    if you "run" a command from the start menu it exits when finished

    /K Carries out My_Command but remains

    haven't tried it since I usually have a cmd shell open somewhere

    cmd /K scriptything
