What would I write in system(...) to get it to launch a executable with parameters(for the executable)? .lick

system( "executable.exe arg1 arg2" );

ShellExecute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), "open", "myExecutable.exe", "-param1 is_this", "C:\Space\Chocolate\etc", SW_SHOWNORMAL);


Passing null to the directory argument will result in opening the file from the current directory. Passing null to the parameter argument opens the file without passing any parameters.

I think you can use system(), but I'm not exactly sure how. Maybe the start command.
