running any file

[mostafa44]

hi everybody
i was wondering if i could make a c++ program to run any file extension
what i mean is for instance to run a JPG file or an mp3 file or a power point file using c++??????

C++ is a programming language, it doesn't "run" any file extension
You can use it to write a program which can read a file with that extension and do something with the read data.
Each type of file may require an external library to be easily read
