Capturing results from system() function.

Question

Hello MSDN community,

I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around, how I can capture the the results of the system() function. For example a commend command would be something like "ipconfig" which would give you your IP Address, DNS, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway ect... How would I use a command like ipconfig, and capture all or maybe just the DNS results?

Thanks,
-Meeba

You can spawn it as a Process, and redirect the I/O.
