Newbie ShellExecute

[Stefano Camaiani]

Sorry for this stupid question, but it is my first day with VC++

I'm building a console application.....

And i need to execute another command line tool (file.exe)....

If i use the shellexecute method, then the file.exe start, BUT in a new
window...

With VB.Net or VB 6.0 if i use the Shell function the File.exe start in the
same console window.....

Some suggestion on howto start the File.exe in the same console window?

Per example i should need to start the CMD.exe in my console VC++ project
and get Dir or Copy functions....

Really thanks...
Stefano
