manu123 · December 27th, 2008, 07:03 PM

Hi community,

Can someone tell me how to open a .exe in the background and choose option 1 in the Program?
I just want that i can start this programm without typing 1 allways.

When i open the Programm he geaves me a choice:

-Press [1] to start
-Press [2] to close

Is it possible? Searched at google didnt find the right one.
I also tryied it with a .bat file,

start "test123" "C:\Documents and Settings\manu\Desktop\test\test\tet.exe "

But dont know how to choose 1.

Please help me this would be so amazing.

Best regards and sorry for my bad english

Thank you for your answer.

I tryied your code, but it doesnt work, i think i did something wrong with the includes.

I tryied this

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{


C:\BACKUP>echo 1 | tr.exe

fflush (stdin);
getchar ();
return 0;
}

Then allways this 3errors come up:

... Dont know why it doesnt work

when i start i getting this error all the time in the msdos window

Der Befehl "C:\BACKUP\echo" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

in english:

The command "C:\BACKUP\echo" is written wrong or couldnt be founded.

What did i wrong :(

e// i can start the program with

start tr.exe but then it doesnt choose option 1
is it possible that echo1 wouldnt work ?
