Adding program arguments to C

Question

How can I load the batch file console to my C console?

I know in batch The command is Showme.bat /B and it'll load the console into whatever console you called that file from.

What would that be in C?

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

Also, doing that... How could I also add additional arguments such as

>>LogTheConsoleTo-a-File.log

Is that possible?

Answer 1

I figured it out but I still cannot keep writing to the same file.

Here's what I did: ShellExecute(NULL,"open","Showme.bat",">>consoleLog.log",NULL,SW_SHOW);

Use the POSIX function "popen". With MSVC/MinGW you can use "_popen" instead. This give you the needed control.
