String="DOS COMMAND"[C++]

Ok I know this is horrible but i cant remember how to run dos commands in a string. Ive already looked and all I get are "use system()", but i cant.

lol i got it..

#include <string>

C++?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string cmd;
    cin << cmd;
    system(cmd);
    return 0;
}

You mean like that?

Edit:

BTW, C++ isn't my language so I don't know if that will work

Nah, it doesn't, try this:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#define CMDMAXLEN 250

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x=0;
    char ch;
    char cmd[CMDMAXLEN+1];
    bzero(&cmd,CMDMAXLEN+1);
    ch=getchar();
    while(ch!='\n')
    {
         if(x<CMDMAXLEN)
         {
               cmd[x]=ch;
               x++;
         }
        ch=getchar();
    }
    system(cmd);
    return 0;
}

Just used some C in it :D
