// Even though Shogun Post deals with file paths using forward slashes,

//  the DOS command interpreter expects back-slashes. This means that you

// will need to use double-back slashes in the string you pass to the

// command since the back-slash is an "escape character" in Shogun Post,

// meaning it is used in combination with the next character to signify 

// a special value. In addition, if the file path has a space in it,

 // you will need to surround it with quotes as in this example here

// (the same goes if we didn't specify the -dos flag) 

system "del \"C:\\PathToSome\\File.dat\"" -dos;

// Execute a console application and redirect its output to the Shogun Post

// command prompt.

system "\"C:\\My\\ConsoleApp.exe\" SomeValue AnotherValue" -captureOutput";

// This launches Notepad. Using the -async flag allows the script

// that calls the system command to continue executing. Without it,

// Shogun Post would be hung until the user closed the Notepad window.

system "notepad.exe C:\\SomeFile.txt" -async;
