Running other executables from my app
 

Is it possible from within my c++ programme to run other programmes (or more likely a script) as well as determine their output?

If my program could run 'grep' itself, it would be great.

Thanks for reading,

Sorry to put it like this, but this has been asked and answered many times before on this forum.
Exactly one week ago was the last time this exact same question appeared:

My apologies Hko,

I have to admit that in this case, I did not search this website before posting (although I hasten to add that I usually do.).

Thank you for your comprehensive response.

OK, no problem.
