Hi i can see you code is c++
I am working with libapl with fpc (freepascal) and i can capture stdout and stderr fine in fpc coding but the only stdout i get from ap_exec is the 0 i have apl_exec as a function and tried with either of the following definitions function apl_exec(p : pchar) : longint; cdecl; // gives good results displayed but stdout captures only 0 function apl_exec(p : pchar) : ansistring; cdecl; // gives nothing to screen with apl_exec nor any stdout On Sun, 24 Jul 2022 17:16:10 -0400 Chris Moller <mol...@mollerware.com> wrote: > apl_exec() can output to both stdout and stderr. > > I use: > > > std::stringstream outbuffer; > std::streambuf *coutbuf = std::cout.rdbuf(); > std::cout.rdbuf(outbuffer.rdbuf()); > std::stringstream errbuffer; > std::streambuf *cerrbuf = std::cerr.rdbuf(); > std::cerr.rdbuf(errbuffer.rdbuf()); > execerr = apl_exec (cmd.toStdString ().c_str ()); > std::cout.rdbuf(coutbuf); > std::cerr.rdbuf(cerrbuf); > outString = QString (outbuffer.str ().c_str ()); > errString = QString (errbuffer.str ().c_str ()); > > On 7/24/22 16:12, enz...@gmx.com wrote: > > hello > > > > What does libapl output?- the apl_exec function returns 0 to stdout but > > what is the actual display? > > > > for example apl_exec('⍳20') what/where is the 1 to 20 displayed so it can > > be captured? > > > > thanks > > >
