| Okay, here's the scenario. I have a program called A.exe. I want A.exe to be able to run B.exe (a command line program), and capture its output, storing it into a buffer. Is this possible with C/++, and if so, would I do it (I know it can be done with some scripting languages like perl). Note: Names have been changed to protect their identity. |

| I remember being able to do that in unix... though i have no idea if the c function call "System(" what I'll be doing is something like this: System("b.exe > somefile"); then all the input you want is in somefile. But if you want A.exe and B.exe to run together and depending on what happens in B, A will act differently, then you'll have to go into all those yucky semaphores and monitors. (and shared memory and stuff) |

| Yeah, that's what I've got at the moment (slightly less pretty, it creates a temporary batch file and winexec's it), I was hoping there was a better way of doing it, but I can live with that. | |||
