Calling a DOS Command

Calling a DOS Command

Question:
How can you call a DOS command under Delphi 2.0? For example, I want to do a “TYPE >prn” from Delphi.

Answer:
You can do it with CreateProcess. Refer to my article in Ask the Delphi Pro regarding this function. Do a page search using the keyword CreateProcess, and you’ll find it.
