Launching an external program then exiting

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Launching an external program then exiting

Jason Coggins(Posted 2008) [#1]
I need BlitzMax to launch an external program (specifically a Python program that requires the terminal command "python programName.py" in order to lauch it) and then have the BlitzMax program end while allowing the other program to continue running.

I cannot find a command to do this.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You could probably use the FreeProcess module for this, but i usually use CreateProcess and do it myself (on Windows anyway).
