How to Launch a Separate Command Window for a Golang Application on Windows?

Launching a Separate Command Window with Golang on Windows

Question:

In a Go application utilizing the command window for user input and output, how do you launch an additional application instance with its own dedicated command window?

Initial Attempts:

The issue arose when attempts to use the "os/exec" package and execute the application with "cmd /c" failed to create a separate window. This led to the question of whether it was possible to launch a non-GUI application with its own window and accessible input/output.

Solution:

The breakthrough came with the realization that the "start" command could be used following "cmd /c". The updated code below successfully launches the application in a separate window:

<code class="go">cmd := exec.Command("cmd", "/C", "start", _path_to_executable_)
err := cmd.Start()</code>
