Re: system() - output folder?

[pc88mxer]

You can use shell I/O redirection:

system("program < input-file > output-file");

my code runs like this:

my $executable = "C:/Desktop/file.exe";
my $output = "C:/Desktop/Folder";

system("$executable", "Argument") == 0
or die "system failed: $?";

The program 'file.exe' generates output files on its own, I just need to specify the folder so it outputs it there.

you can chdir to $output before you do your system call.

if you save your current workdir (Cwd - getcwd) before that chdir, you can chdir back to the previous workdir afterwards, if necessary.

update: minor text changes, so it is (hopefully) more precise
