Suppress command window when running console application on Windows

Is there a way to suppress showing the command window when running a console application on Windows XP?

Details: I am calling a (console-based) program from Vim. I would like to avoid the command window being shown every time I do this.

Solution

  • Did you try shell.vim?

    The xolox#shell#execute() function

    This function enables other Vim plug-ins to execute external commands in the background (i.e. asynchronously) without opening a command prompt window on Windows.
