Hi guys,
I want to execute one command using batch file but non of below code is working where Please tell me where I am going wrong,
Following is code for executing batch file,
First trial:-

C++

STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
if( !CreateProcess( NULL,
    "cmd /C  sa.bat",
    NULL,
    NULL,
    FALSE,
    0,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    &si,
    &pi )
    )
{
    printf( "CreateProcess failed (%d)\n", GetLastError() );
    return FALSE;
}
WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );
CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
return TRUE;

Second trial :-

C++

system("cmd.exe /C sa.bat");

Third Trial :-

Then I would suggest the you read it again and actually use the function as stated in the documentation. Pay particular attention to the second parameter that you are setting to null.

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "sa.bat", "", ".", SW_SHOW);

sometimes the old ways are best... try spawn or something in process.h

Something like this...
spawnlp(P_WAIT, getenv("PATH"),"sa.bat",NULL);

Solution 1

you better use a complete path in your command line. Not only for your batch but also for the working directory.

More love to the details is needed ;-)
