When you open a DOS window in Windows XP the default shell (command-line interpreter) is cmd.exe. > Now when I compile a c program and either use 'system()' to do: > "dir>t.txt", *or even use 'system()' to call a bat*, the format is > different, with ALL the dir entries listed together as files!

Just compare the output of "dir" and "command /c dir". > lfn is used, the first time I use 'system', the format changes to this > weird format and stays that way until the program terminates. Sorry, but using "system()" is NO programming to me.
