I am trying to make a c program that will open my internet apps e.g. chrome, thunderbird etc.
When i am using the
system("")
function i have to do it all in one line cause everytime i reuse it, it resets my directory to where the c project is saved.
How is that possible?
Depend on what system & shell you're on, the syntax may be different
On Windows cmd just use && or &. For example
notepad && mspaint
calc & dir
&& will run the second command if the first completed successfully. & will run the command in the background on Linux/Unix, whereas it'll run the first then the second command in Windows

I have a simple problem. I am writing a batch script that needs to run a file with a specific application. With the unfamiliar file extension I am using, it will prompt what app to open the file with, but I want this to be automated.
My current code is just start /wait example.idk
Help would be much appreciated
You can explicitly start the 'specific application' with the 'example.idk' as parameter. Something like: start /wait "specific program" "PathToSpecificProgram\specific application.exe" "example.idk"

I developed a program written in C language using Gtk+ 3 for visual interface, and to run it I always use the comand line (Im using cygwin), but I would like to know how can i make my program an aplication, witch can be installed in windows and function like any other aplication (launch it throught files explorer or even throught the desktop enviroment)?
Thank you for your answers!
Provided that you have written the code portable, you basically have two options.
Install GTK on Windows. You can find instructions here: https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows/
Rewrite the whole application for Windows API. This is NOT trivial.
On top of that, use windows installer

I want to be able to build and execute the currently opened C file using a shortcut like in IDEs as I don't want to type a command every time I run.
Use a shell script that compiles and executes the file.
gcc file.c
./a.out
only works if you work with one file or #include, or you have to add the other files to the compiler.
As you probably work with a text editor, there are no other options than this, or doing it manually.

I wanted to know if it was possible to bind key to execute a command but while the .bat file is minimized.
Any ideas?
I have searched everywhere but I have found nothing, the only thing I found was "choice" which is something I am not trying to do.
I know that this is possible because I have a file that does it, sadly it is not mine and it was converted to a .exe file so I don't know how to convert it back to a .bat file to be able to look into the code and find my answer.
There are two types of hotkeys in Windows. One to activate an open window (set when window is created) and one that sends a message key pressed to a window (set by a program anytime).
On Windows shortcuts (ie lnk files not keyboard shortcuts) there is an option to set a hotkey. If the program is not running then windows' explorer registers it to itself and starts the program in the shortcut, if the program is running activates the window.
