I want to change image's exif data. For that I've used Exiv2.exe. Now I want to fire command from my program which is written in vc++ 08. For modify GPS data of image, exive command is
exiv2 -M"set Exif.GPSInfo.GPSLatitude 4/1 15/1 33/1" D:\test\image.jpg
I've placed exiv2.exe into system32 folder. And this command works fine from command prompt. For example,
C:\Users\Me>exiv2 -M"set Exif.GPSInfo.GPSLatitude 4/1 15/1 33/1" D:\test\image.jpg
Now how can I fire this same command from my c++ program?
Thanks in advance...
Have a look at the documentation for ShellExecute() or CreateProcess() - either of these ought to get you where you want to be.
Finally got it,
const char *change_latitude = "exiv2 -M\"set Exif.GPSInfo.GPSLatitude 14/1 15/1 13/1\" D:\\test\\image.jpg";
system(change_latitude);
In this example assumption is : exiv2.exe in system32 folder.
Thanks...

I currently try to extract the embedded images of some RAW images (.CR2) so I can display them as JPG in Qt. With the following code:
QProcess ufraw;
ufraw.start("/bin/sh", QStringList() << "-c" << "ufraw-batch /Users/dublin/Pictures/Ich/IMG_5098.CR2 --embedded-image");
ufraw.waitForFinished(-1);
I try to run ufraw-batch. But this does not work even if I use startDetached(). There is no result (should be a file ending on .embedded.jpg). Any other way to do this or what am I doing wrong here?
Whats also really interesting is that if I run ufraw-batch /Users/dublin/Pictures/Ich/IMG_5098.CR2 --embedded-image from normal terminal everything works fine.
I am currently on macOS Catalina.
Many thanks.
Interesting so with a lot of research I tried directly running the ufraw-batch executable from /usr/local/bin and actually this worked.
So
QProcess ufraw;
ufraw.start("/usr/local/bin/ufraw-batch MY_FILE.CR2 --embedded-image");
just works!
I have a c++ program that run a command and pass some arguments to it. The code is as follow:
int RunApplication(fs::path applicationPathName,std::string arguments)
{
std::string applicationShortPath=GetShortFileName(applicationPathName);
std::string cmd="\""+applicationShortPath +"\" "+ arguments+" >>log.txt 2>&1 \"";
std::cout<<cmd<<std::endl;
int result=std::system(cmd.c_str());
return result;
}
When I run system command, the cmd window appears shortly and then closes, but the result is 1 and the cmd was not run (the command should generate output which is not generated).
To check that the cmd is correct, I stopped the application just before system line and copy/ paste cmd content to a cmd window and it worked.
I am wondering how can I find why application is not run in system()?
the cmd has this value just before running it:
"D:/DEVELO~3/x64/Debug/enfuse.exe" -w --hard-mask --exposure-weight=1 --saturation-weight=0.328 --contrast-weight=0.164 -o "C:/Users/m/AppData/Local/Temp/1.tif" "C:/Users/m/AppData/Local/Temp/1.jpg" "C:/Users/m/AppData/Local/Temp/2.jpg" >>log.txt 2>&1 "
How can I find why it is not working?
Is there any way that I set the system so it doesn't close cmd window so I can inspect it?
is there any better way to run a command on OS?
Does Boost has any solution for this?
Edit
After running it with cmd /k, I get this error message:
The input line is too long.
How can I fix it other than reducing cmd line?
There are two different things here: if you have to start a suprocess, "system" is not the best way of doing it (better to use the proper API, like CreateProcess, or a multiplatform wrapper, but avoid to go through the command interpreter, to avoid to open to potential malware injection).
But in this case system() is probably the right way to go since you in fact need the command interpreter (you cannot manage things like >>log.txt 2>&1 with only a process creation.)
The problem looks like a failure in the called program: may be the path is not correct or some of the files it has to work with are not existent or accessible with appropriate-permission and so on.
One of the firt thing to do: open a command prompt and paste the string you posted, in there. Does it run? Does it say something about any error?
Another thing to check is how escape sequence are used in C++ literals: to get a '\', you need '\\' since the first is the escape for the second (like \n, or \t etc.). Although it seems not the case, here, it is one of the most common mistakes.
Use cmd /k to keep the terminal: http://ss64.com/nt/cmd.html
Or just spawn cmd.exe instead and inspect the environment, permissions, etc. You can manually paste that command to see whether it would work from that shell. If it does, you know that paths, permssions and environment are ok, so you have some other issue on your hands (argument escaping, character encoding issues)

I have a quick question, should be relatively simple for those who have some more experience in WMI-command processor than I do (and since I'm an absolute beginner thats not hard :-) )
I fail to understand why wmic /format switch works the way it does. I open up cmd.exe and type
wmic process list brief /format:htable > processlist.html
this does exactly what I want and no bothers further on. Whereas if I go to wmic processor, and try to execute the same command exactly as above...
wmic:root\cli>process list brief /format:htable > processlist.html
I receive the error tag: "Invalid XSL format (or) file name."
Here goes the screenshot. Note I have already copied XSL files from wbem to sys32 dir
Can someone explain to me why these 2 commands that for me look exactly the same, with the only difference that one is executed outside wmic environment and the other one is from inside, the latter one doesn't work? I just fail to understand it.
Please advise so I can comprehend this a bit better! :-)
Try this
copy /y %WINDIR%\system32\wbem\en-US\*.xsl %WINDIR%\system32\
And then
wmic:root\cli>process list brief /format:htable.xsl > processlist.html
Note the presence of the extension after "htable"
You are attempting to use CMD.EXE > redirection while you are within the interactive WMIC context. That can't work.
You can use the WMIC /output:filename switch while in interactive mode. Each subsequent command will overwrite the output of the previous command. You can get multiple commands to go to the same file by using /append:filename instead. You can reset the output back to stdout using /output:stdout.
/output:processlist.html
process list brief /format:htable
/output:stdout
Did you try specifying a full path in the wmic:root\cli>process call? My bets are that the first worked because it output the file to the current directory.
Good Day,
I have searched the Internet tirelessly trying to find an example of how to start Windows Speech Training from with in my VB.Net Speech Recognition Application.
I have found a couple examples, which I can not get working to save my life.
One such example is on the Visual Studios Fourms:
HERE
this particular example users the "Process.Start" call to try and start the Speech Training Session. However this does not work for me. Here is the exmaple from that thread:
Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "C:\Windows\system32\speech\speechux\SpeechUX.dll, RunWizard UserTraining")
What happens is I get and error that says:
There was a problem starting
C:\Windows\system32\speech\speechux\SpeechUX.dll
The specified module could not be found
So I tried creating a shortcut (.lnk) file and thought I could access the DLL this way. My short cut kind of does the same thing. In the short cut I call the "rundll32.exe" with parameters:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Windows\system32\speech\speechux\SpeechUX.dll" RunWizard UserTraining
Then in my VB.Net application I use the "Process.Start" and try to run the shortcut.
This also gives me the same error. However the shortcut itself will start the SPeech Training session. Weird?!?
So, I then took it one step further, to see if it has something to do with my VB.Net Application and the "Process.Start" Call.
I created a VBScript, and using "Wscript.Shell" I point to the Shortcut.
Running the VBScript calls the Shortcut and low and behold the Speech Training starts!
Great! But...
when I try to run the VBscript from my VB.net Application, I get that error again.
What the heck is going on here?
Your problem likely is that your program is compiled as 32-bit and your OS is 64-bit, and thus, when you try to access "C:\Windows\System32\Speech\SpeechUX\SpeechUX.dll" from your program, you're really accessing "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\SpeechUX.dll" which, as rundll32.exe is reporting doesn't exist.
Compile your program as 64-bit instead or try the pseudo directory %SystemRoot%\sysnative.
Also, instead of rundll32.exe, you may want to just run SpeechUXWiz.exe with an argument.
Eg.
private Process StartSpeechMicrophoneTraining()
{
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.SystemDirectory, "speech\\speechux\\SpeechUXWiz.exe");
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "MicTraining";
process.Start();
return process;
}
private Process StartSpeechUserTraining()
{
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.SystemDirectory, "speech\\speechux\\SpeechUXWiz.exe");
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "UserTraining";
process.Start();
return process;
}
Hope that helps.
Read more about Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64
or your problem specifically at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64#Registry_and_file_system
If you are using a 64bit OS and want to access system32 folder you must use the directory alias name, which is "sysnative".
"C:\windows\sysnative" will allow you access to system32 folder and all it's contents.
Honestly, who decided this at Microsoft is just silly!!
I have a console command, something like:
std::wstring ConsoleCommand;
ConsoleCommand = L"c:\\somepath\\anotherpath\\program.exe -opt1 /opt2 --opt3";
I want to execute this command.
How do I do it?
(It may be a Win32 API function, or a standard C/C++ library.)
Try ShellExecute(). You probably want the open verb. You could also use CreateProcess().
You must _wsystem() or _wpopen() on Windows.
