Cmndline args with CreateProcess

[richpauir]

I'm trying to spawn the MS-DOS Editor with CreateProcess. How do I include the argument 'edit' in my call to CreateProcess? The MS-DOS Editor is normally opened by typing 'edit' at the DOS command prompt.

This is my code:
bret = CreateProcess(NULL, 'command.com'C, NULL, NULL,
FALSE, IOR(CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS),
NULL, NULL, loc(si), loc(pi))

Try replacing command.com with edit.com.

Any particular reason why you want to use that editor?

I would suggest instead using ShellExecute and the "Edit" verb. (However, you can't wait for the editor to finish this way.)

Thanks guys.

Steve, my boss likes the MS-DOS Editor to create formatted input files for his Fortran console applications. It's a little old-school, but he's the boss. :)
