Execute commands in new window of executed program with c code or batch file

Question

I have a compiled program ( task.exe ). The result of this program is a new cmd window with specific commands there. I need to execute commands just in that cmd window, that is, I need to send keyboard input to that window. I tried to make something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Start task.exe"); 
    system("task.exe && command ");
    return 0;         
}

Guys, could you please help me with this problem. I think maybe I should somehow get the created process, and then work from there.

Answer 1

You can send keyboard input using the function SendInput .

A better, but more complex approach would be using Microsoft UI Automation .
