Running bat file from the C++ source code

What to do when one has to execute batch script from the c++ source code ?

System command can solve the purpose in this context.
Here is the syntax details :-

int system(  const char *command );
int _wsystem(   const wchar_t *command );

Example :-
  Suppose if some one want to restart a service named "TestService" form the batch file.
Then c:\\sample.bat file would look like as:-

net stop TestService
net start TestService

calling it from source code:-

    system ("c:\\sample.bat");
