Re: Console screen from spawn_process

["Paulo Flabiano Smorigo" <pfsmorigo gmail com>]

Hi Armin,

Thanks for the reply and the code. I saw it and notice that you don't use the stdin of the spawn process. In my program I will need this.

You sad that even if I compile with -mwindow I will have stdin and stdout. So I compile and doing some tests I discover that the stdout is working but if I try to send commands to stdin with the command "write(&stdin, "my command", strlen(size_of_my_command))" there is no result.

I trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong... Maybe you could help me...

Thanks again...

There still is, you just don't see it. You can use stdin and stdout for
communication even when there is no console window.

I did the same thing in Glom. Maybe it's helpful:

Most likely not.
