Native methods in C++?

    Is it possible to use native methods in C++? What I mean is, can you get C++ to execute an MS-DOS command and use the results?

    what kind of msdos commands?

    you should be able to recreate the command fairly easily in C (look up any manual) and then output the results to a text file, and then intrepret them from there.

    its been years but either system() or spawn should do it. Most MSDOS programs return an integer value known as the errorlevel. This will tell you how to program exited, ie successfully, or in flames.
    If you need the msdos programs out put try
    system("myProgram > a.txt");

    which will redirect the output away from STDOUT and into a.txt, which you can read like a normal text file.
