How to execute a batch file with pascal?

@consuelo 

To execute a batch file with Pascal, you can use the exec function from the SysUtils unit. Here's an example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

uses
  SysUtils;

begin
  // Execute the batch file "mybatchfile.bat"
  if ExecuteProcess('mybatchfile.bat', '', []) <> 0 then
    writeln('Batch file executed successfully.')
  else
    writeln('Error executing batch file.');
end.

The ExecuteProcess function takes three parameters:

• The first parameter is the name of the batch file to execute.
• The second parameter is any command-line arguments to pass to the batch file (if none, pass an empty string).
• The third parameter is an array of flags to modify the behavior of the function. In this example, we pass an empty array to use the default behavior.

Note that the ExecuteProcess function returns an integer exit code, which indicates whether the batch file executed successfully (a value of 0) or with an error (a non-zero value).

Please note that the code provided is for Free Pascal, a popular Pascal dialect. If you are using a different Pascal compiler or dialect, the code may need to be adjusted accordingly, but the concept should remain the same.
