Hi,
I am using Ada95 to develop a tool which will execute/call a DOS batch file.
Anyone knows how ? Thanks

If you use GNAT you may take a look at GNAT.OS_Lib and the Spawn procedure/function there. For executing a batch file you may also need Getenv to retrieve the name of the command processor (environment variable COMSPEC) to let it execute the batch.

That obviously depends on the OS you are on (Mac, Unix?) Therefore it isn't part of the standard for all Ada compilers. But it's very commonly needed. So your compiler vendor surely has supplied some library functions to do it. Remember that Ada is not limited to MS Windows systems. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Anyone knows how ? Thanks Since you are using GNAT you might want to take a look at: http://adacl.sourceforge.net/html/______Include__AdaCL-OS-Command__adb.htm for details on how to use spawn or download AdaCL at: http://adacl.sourceforge.net With Regards Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
