Hello, I'm trying to get unix.popen() running. The RTL.pdf says the file opened with popen (stdin for reading here) has to be reset or rewritten. The example does not do anything like that.
The other part is the question whether the file has to be assign()'ed befor or not. var f: text; s: ansistring; begin s := ''; popen(f, '/usr/bin/w', 'r'); reset(f); readln(f, s); close(f); writeln(s); end; Using it that way does not work, it prints an empty string. Leaving out reset does the same. Running the command on the command line does actually print out something (one line). What's wrong here? -- Marc Santhoff <m.santh...@web.de> _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
