Hi Marin Lazar,
You can send a string to the command processor of the underlying
operating system by using the "system()" function. If you want to
build the string from variable components, use the "sprintf()"
function to assemble it before calling "sustem()":
sprintf( myCommand, "someProgOrScript %s %d", someString, someNumber
);
system( myCommand );
