Hi there

I am currently developing an address book program
http://asmodeus.linuxave.net )

I want to include support for e-mail but I am having a bit of a problem.
When you start pine from the command line you can type:

that I can run pine this way from within my program?

i tried to use system() as in:

char email[50] = "emailaddress";
system("pine %s", emailaddress);

but this approach didn't work since system() only accepts one argument.

Please help!! I would really appreciate it

Thanks alot
Michael

char command[80]; /* this will hold the command line */
snprintf(command, 80, "pine %s", email); /* generate command line */
system(command); /* execute command line */

Might work (untested).

Build a string using sprintf() or the like and pass that to system()
instead.
