SYSTEM statement in Aurora?

[Doc]

Hello Paul (or anyone else who wants to jump in here  )

Using Aurora, I'm trying to resurrect a really old "fun project" that I originally started in IBasic, which brought a couple of questions to mind.

Is there yet an equivalent option available for the "SYSTEM" statment in IB?

Also, can Aurora source code be compiled from the command prompt?


I've searched the forum without finding anything helpful, so apologise in advance if either answer has already been given elsewhere around here.

Here is the Aurora equivelent.

Code Select Expand


global sub main()
{
system("notepad.exe","test.txt");
}

DECLARE IMPORT,ShellExecuteA(UINT hwnd,pointer pOp,pointer pFile,pointer pParam,pointer pDir,int nShow),UINT;

SUB SYSTEM(STRING command, OPT STRING param)
{
ShellExecuteA(0,"open",command,param,0,1);
}


You can compile from the command line, but it's a complex procedure since you need to call the compiler, assembler and linker in the proper order. 

Paul.

Yes its not too hard. Perhaps using a batch file or one of the GPL MAKE programs. Aurora Live basicly calls each seperate program and opens a pipe to listen to the compulers output etc.
