-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to execute an external program compiled under cygwin from J.
I tried forms such as wd'winexec "c:\cygwin\home\Bill Harris\myprogram.exe c:\cygwin\howe\Bill Harris\mydata.txt" sw_shownormal' That flashes a new window on the screen temporarily and returns a 0, and wd'qer' command failed : 0 I suspect that winexec is starting a Windows command shell, not bash. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? I searched the Forum and didn't find anything. Once I know how to do this, I may make it part of a form I want to create, so I can save data into that data file, execute the external program, and return to J for processing and showing the output. To that end, does any technique for doing this in Windows carry over to Linux or OS X?
