Problem with exec();

Hello,

I try to execute a Program with the A7 using the exec(); command.

Code:

---

function exectest()
{
	exec("KleinesEinmaleins.exe", ""); //a simple C console application
	beep(); // to let me hear the function was started	
}

function DebugKeyBinds_startup()
{
	on_m = exectest;
} 

---

And nothing happend. I hear the beep, so the function is executed but this is everything. Absolut no reaction. The Programm "KleinesEinmaleins.exe" is located in the main Folder so the engine should find it. I tryed to place it in an Folder I included with PATH "" but there was no difference.

Could anyone help me with this Problem?

Thank you in advance.

I cannot see any problems with your code. I however would like to see you check to see if the file exists before trying to execute it. So something like...

Code:

---

  
function exectest()
{
  var file_handle = file_open_read("KleinesEinmaleins.exe");
 	
    if (file_handle != 0) // if the file exists
    {
      exec("KleinesEinmaleins.exe", ""); // A simple C console application
    }
    else
    {
      beep();
    }
}
 

---

The application will beep if the file isn't found.
