run some DOS command using the “TCLeditor”

[burnningcat]

Dear FMK,

Would you please tell me if it is possible to run some DOS command using the “TCLeditor” to run OpenSees? For example, I want to run the following DOS command:

copy D:\ openSees.exe C:\tcleditor\bin

How should I write the command in the “TCLeditor”?

Thank you very much!

this example could be done with file copy .. however there are other times you may want to use a shell command.

you basically want to play with the exec command.
