How to run a DOS command?

[KK Sasa]

Is there command like R's command 「system」

     system("XXX.bat")

or Matlab's 「dos」in Julia?

     dos('XXX.bat','-echo');


I have checked http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/running-external-programs/, but still don't understand how to call DOS.

Thanks.

run(`XXX.bat`)

Thank you, John.

The problem is that I use「'」 rather than 「`」, maybe the document should indicate this clearly.

The very first sentence of the section you referenced is the following:

"Julia borrows backtick notation for commands from the shell, Perl, and Ruby.”

How would you rewrite that sentence to make it more clear that you will need to use backticks? Is the problem that the word backtick is unfamiliar? Or that the systems referenced (shell, Perl, Ruby) are unfamilar?

Thanks for pointing out this.

My English is not good, so I didn't know this word backticks and where it is on the keyboard.

Maybe we should put a quoted backtick in that sentence right after the word backtick first occurs?

It should be more helpful. :)
