Link C++ - SKILL

Yann00

hi,

 

Could someone explain to me how to make a link between C++ and SKILL?

I have to develop a program in SKILL. But I do some text treatment in C++. So how I can load my SKILL program, and then lunch my C++ program? I have, in the SKILL program, to have a position with text file from C++.

Ask me if you want more details.

Best regards

  •  Calling other programs from skill is pretty easy. In your Skill code just do a:

         system("my_C_program my_arguments")

     The main issue is dealing where the program exists on disks. You can ask the user or install it in a "well known" location.

    What you want to end up with is invoking the system API with the actual location on disk. The alternative method is either modifing the Windows PATH variable to sticking the program into a directory that currently exists in the PATH variable. For example invoking the program via an absolute directory location:

         system("d:\bin\my_C_program my_arguments)
