Currently I am working on project of Image processing using c++. I found solution which requires use of Command prompt.Can you please tell me syntax of some portion of it?

Since my C++ skills aren't that great I don't know how to achieve this.

what OS? some compiler/IDEs has linbuild functions to run cmd. You can always start new proccess with cmd.exe or what ever ... and then hook to its handle ... or use pipes etc — Spektre, Nov 08 '16 at 12:33
It's unclear what you're asking here. Do you want to run a command? Do you want to run a command with a bunch of command line parameters? Do you want to pop up a command prompt window for the user to type in? Do you want to launch a command, pipe the results to a second command, and redirect those results to a file? — David Yaw, Nov 08 '16 at 18:04

Try to use system() function:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
  return system("dir");
}

When I am writing following syntax return system("dir"); It refers to my desktop location.But I want this pointer to my C:/ drive. – DeUs Nov 08 '16 at 13:08
I used "dir" as example. You can use any command promt instruction. – Ignat Nov 08 '16 at 13:29
system("dir c:\\"); - lists C:/ drive – Ignat Nov 08 '16 at 13:31
