Using System DOS commands within SAS-C

[Zetr0]

Hello my fellow forum chummies, buds and friends!

Quick Question -

I have just set up and working SAS-C environment to evolve AGLaunch into something a lot more configurable - I was wondering if there is a way to use DOS commands to create a dumb text file.

Such that

#include <sdtio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <system.h>

void main (void)
{
        printf("Igor!... Throw tha Switch!!\n\nYesss Mastaaah...\n\n");

        blah code;
        blah code;
        blah code;

        system("DIR DIRS >RAM:tst.txt");

        blah code (open the file in ram)
        blah code (do some shenanigans on txt file)
}

obviously there isn't a <system.h> include with SAS-C so I was wondering if there is there anything like that for the Amiga specifically for SAS-C v658?

Is there a dirent.h ? Then you could just do this straight from C.

Actually, take a look in the dos autodocs, theres an example using ExamineDir()

There's the dos.library function execute: http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD.../node015E.html

Just include <stdlib.h> and your call to system() will compile.
