Need to know how to comine files

[Jbird183]

I am taking an introduction to computer programming course and I have created 4 individual programs and I want to create one program that can house a link to them all and allow the user to type 1, 2, 3, or 4 and have the coresponding file load when they press that number. I was wondering if anyone could please help me and give me some kind of idea on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you,
J

Hi J,

I would setup your menu loop, I'm not sure how advanced this needs to be. Typing 1,2,3,4 sounds like 101 programming: The best I can do is give you a couple of hints to get you going.
Use:
cin - to get the input from the user,
while - loop with a exit clause
switch - to run the different options selected by the user.
_exec - to execute the different programs. processes.h

I've used "exec" with C but have not tried this with Visual C++.

Maybe this is helpful, given the nature of the message I wouldn't like to give you the code for this.

If anyone has a different way to execute progams within visual C++ I'd be interested to know.

Cheers
MJ
