running a command prompt?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/running a command prompt?

how can i run a exe which requires a command prompt in blitz on multiple files without it popping on and off?

I don't understand the question.

nevermind, i don't think i can get around the problem.

If you're using BlitzPlus, you can use CreateProcess.

Not sure about the 'multiple files without it popping on and off' part, but you can use ExecFile to run an exe with commandline keys.

Example.

ExecFile Chr$ ( 34 ) + "C:\Program Files\Blitz3D\bin\blitzcc.exe" + Chr$ ( 34 ) + " -h"

Should run the Blitz 3D compiler and show the commandline help.

He's referring to the command window popping up and disappearing.
