Yes, I used the popen example. I tried compiling the code u sent, and I'm getting errors. I use quincy2005 which uses the mingw compiler. errors are: " 23: error 'vsprintf_s' was not declared i this scope 52: error 'sprintf_s' was not declared in this scope "
the popen example works great. its only when i try to change it that I'm getting problems. try this and see if it works on your machine: download avra.exe (avr assembler) http://sourceforge.net/projects/avra put that in the same folder as your .exe and call it from within the program using this: "avra.exe test.asm" when it tries to compile, it'll show the avra stuff in the GUI, however, the error will show in the console something like "test.asm: file does not exist" Now that's if the file doesn't exist. but even if it does and there are no errors, avra outputs "pass 1..." in the GUI window, but everything below that shows up in the DOS window, "pass 2..." etc. If there are any errors in compilation, those will also show up in the console window. That's just one program I'm calling. The other program I'm calling will show show nothing in the GUI window, but everything in the console. regardless of if its job was successful or not. Thanks for your help, I REALLY appreciate it.
