[h4x0rswln is back]

i'm trying...but even google is failing...

so...what code would i use to open a url after firefox is open? i'm sure it's possible.

if u have on your desktop:

#include <windows.h>
int main ()
{
system("start firefox.exe  www.PUT THE WEBSITE HERE.com");
return 0;
}

if u have on your desktop:

#include <windows.h>
int main ()
{
system("start firefox.exe  www.PUT THE WEBSITE HERE.com")
return 0;
}

much shorter then the code i was using, which was accurate according to a c++ tutorial but wouldn't compile due to errors.


i'll go test this one out.

If you want to avoid using system() you can use ShellExecute instead.

ShellExecute(NULL,"open","www.google.com",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

i'm getting an error with return 0;. any idea why?

You need to put a semi colon after system() function.

EDIT: works now, thanks guys.

Maybe you should work on your C++ more?

It would serve you well to actually learn all of the syntax before trying to program. Otherwise Cstrings, Arrays, and Pointers are going to fuck your world up. Because technically Cstrings are Arrays, and Pointers are just terribly fucking confusing.

What basic knowledge...?

shellExecute isn't basic knowledge. At this point you don't really have use for the windows API.

EDIT! I say this because i'm on Lesson 14 of Cprogrammings C++ Tut and it hasn't once yet called for the windows API header.
