System Calls

[Murdoch, Matthew]

Hi list,

I am fairly new to cygwin I have a fairly trivial question.  I am trying to
make a system call using the system function in C.   I have read some of the
previous postings on the newsgroup, but I am still stuck.   I am trying to
do the following command, which calls an executable file and supplies it
with an input file.  It then pipes the output to an otuput file.   

system("cmd /c c:\"users\"mmurdoch\"ACE\"sixs <
c:\"users\"mmurdoch\"ACE\"sixSIn.txt
         > c:\"users\"mmurdoch\"ACE\"sixSOut.txt");

I do have the "sh.exe" file in my \bin directory.    

Thanks in advance for the help

Matthew Murdoch
