1: Is there away to make my program, start another program?
Try system, eg. system("pause");
2: Is there away to hide the command prompt? I am not doing anything GUI, I just want something to run in the background.
If you are create a console application then no, not directly. Best you can do is to create a link for starting the application and set it to start minimized.
3: How do you read numbers from a txt file?
YOu have to use fread (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/fread/) to read the data into a string variable and then handle the conversion. I think ATOI would do that for you.
4: how do you copy a txt document adn paste it someplace else?
bool copyFile (const char SRC[], const char DEST[])
{
std::ifstream src; // the source file
std::ofstream dest; // the destination file
src.open (SRC, std::ios::binary); // open in binary to prevent jargon at the end of the buffer
dest.open (DEST, std::ios::binary); // same again, binary
if (!src.is_open() || !dest.is_open())
return false; // could not be copied
dest << src.rdbuf (); // copy the content
dest.close (); // close destination file
src.close (); // close source file
return true; // file copied successfully
}
5: How do you delete a text document?
Use the remove function (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/remove/)
