Try to execute command line codes from c++ linux
c++, command-prompt, linux
Solution
If you want to run a program and wait for it to finish before executing next line, take a look at this page and example code here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/c-process-control-functions/
But if you want to run gnome-terminal and execute a command in newly created window, do this:
system("gnome-terminal -x sh -c 'cd /tmp ; ls -la'");
Problem
I tried the following code, to communicate with the command line from c++ code. ``` #include<iostream> #include<cv.h> int main() { system("gnome-terminal"); system("cd"); } ``` The gnome-terminal command is executing fine. After I close the terminal, when am expecting the cd to execute, however, is not happening. Could you please help me and point out the reason? Thanks. I was expecting the function to make the cmd go down to the home directory , but it did not. am working in linux I tried it even by removing gnome. simple cd is not working. am I doing something rong>? If I try ls, it seems to be working fine! My main aim is to open a new terminal, and execute commands on that new terminal through the present program that opened the new terminal. Could you please tell me how I can achieve this??
