Calling a batch file from within LUA

[brian@...]

Have been reading through the Docs and the mailing list archives but could not find a satisfactory answer to my question.

I need to call a batch file from within a LUA script.

The scripts are used by an app built in VC++ .

>From the documentation i think it could be done this way

execute("batch c:\folder1 c:\folder2")

batch being the name of the batch file to execute and c:\folder1 & c:\folder2 being the two arguments passed.

Is this the correct/best way to do this?


Thanks for the advice,
Brian
