1. What is the command for Internet Explorer?
For Linux I have:
prog = -- mozilla or nautilus or whatever
system(prog & " \"www.google.com/search -- etc.
This works for Linux. It searches a string on Google.
The question is:
How to do that on Windows?
I seem to be unable to find the command for Internet Explorer.

Even better, actually, you can just do:
system( "start www.google.com/search", -2 )
...and it will use the user's default browser.

On debian there are two ways of doing approximately the same thing. You can use
one of the two commands sensible-browser and x-www-browser. Though I don't know
how "standard" they are.

4. Re: What is the command for Internet Explorer?
Do you specifically want internet explorer, or just whatever program
the user has installed for web browsing? (I suggest the latter)
For internet explorer:=20
system("iexplore.exe \"http://webpage.com\"",2)
For whichever program is registered to handle the file, use start.exe
system("start.exe \"c:\My Documents\test.doc\"",2) --opens test.doc in
the default program, probably microsoft word.
So to open the web page in the default web browser:
system("start http://www.webpage.com/",2)
