Access to the STDIN of a process launched with Run()

[domenikov]

Would be possible to act on the Run() command so that it returns a file handler to the STDIN of the launched process? Such handler would be useful for all those console programs that receive several commands, one line at a time, not necessarily all at once when they are launched. A syntax might be:

Code: Select all

handler = Run(file$[, args$, t])

Then, the Hollywood script could send strings to the launched program with the WriteLine() command, and intercept the output produced through the RunOutput() event.

That sounds like advanced wizardry, probably not worth implementing because it's a lot of work and I don't think many people need it.
