Re: can you do exec under Windows OS?

I might found the answer myself but correct me if I'm wrong: I was trying to pass some args (ex. echo testing) that I tried to exec but fail. But, if I put the "echo testing" inside a batch file and have the exec to call that batch file, then it works. There is also a function call escapeshellcmd to screen out any bad tricks. If there is other better ways to do thing, please share.
