Running a separate turing file with the system () command.

[corriep]

Hey guys quick question, what is the system () command to run a separate turing file?. For example, I want to create a file that runs "Hello, World!":

Turing:

var OUT : int open : OUT, "file.t", put put : OUT, "put \"Hello, World!\"" var foo : int system ("command here", foo)

PS. found a bug w/ the preview button, when it is pressed in the Turing Help section, all your previous text is replaced by the template text

it's Sys.Exec. Though that could be used to start any executable file. Meaning that you would first have to compile the code.

Ok then, how would I compile the new turing file into a .exe with Sys.Exec or system?

Download turing 4.1, and compile it. 4.1.1a won't do it.

In the Run menu under generate standalone program.

You can't. You must compile it inside of Turing beforehand.
