Suppose I had an external program that took a file in and modified it, saving the modified version as a new file in this format program.exe -i oldfile.dat -o newfile.dat Is there any way to send this little command to the system command prompt? There is no need for information sharing between this program and mathematica, so it seems unnecessary to use Run, RunThrough or writing a MathLink. Using Run I can provoke a command prompt to pop up but the program is never run. Any suggestions?
