command "system"

[Plouzane]

Hi,

I launch an executable file with the command "system" on CVI. The executable normally return an exit status code but I don't know how I can read this code. Can you help me?
Thanks

You could try using the Windows SDK functions CreateProcess and GetExitCodeProcess. See the SDK help for these functions.
#include windows.h and winbase.h in your .c file.
Add kernel32.lib to your project.
