Hi Guys

To modify binary files, you can use a Hex Editor instead of Text Editor. But be careful, if you modify the wrong values in the wrong byte position can render the exe file in-operable afterward.

Do you want to know how to read and modify the content of an executable, or how to execute a file? Your question is not clear.

Why do you want to "EDIT" a .exe file????

Try opening it with notepad.

Maybe not a .exe file but some games data file (high scores,number of lives etc etc) which are stored in binary format. A cheat code so as to speak :P

i m sorry if i be unclear i mean i want an exe file to work and close when i want. Not to mean open an exe file as text.

I don't understand your question. To run an exe, in Windows you double-click the exe. To close, you click on the X at the top right corner (most software follow this convention).

i think you want this

...
#include<cstdlib>
..
..
..
system ("explorer.exe");
..
..

note: everybody say that its bad to use system();

I think he wants to know that is there a way to make the program that he is writing to execute another program during run-time.

I see. I guess other ppl has given him the solution. But I think system is not a standard function. However in Unix/Linux they do have a system function call. Not sure of Windows platform though.
