CGI PUREBASIC and external programm (ex. Notepad.exd)

[loulou2522]

Hi all,
I would like to be able to launch an executable (e.g. Notepad.exe) from SPIDERBASIC using PUREBASIC CGI. Is it possible. If not, what are the solutions that would allow me to get around the problem?

Is it possible.

Yes, that is possible. However, you must note that in this case you start Notepad on the server (the computer that hosts your SpiderBasic site); not on the client (the computer on which the browser displays your website).

Thank you Kiffi for your reply.
Would it be possible for you to correct these two programmes for me so that I can test them, as I can't do it.

The aim is to be able to launch an executable on the server from SB.
