read pipe information on a running (popen) process

2009-01-06 Thread Jules Stevenson
Hi, I'm really struggling with how to read the stdout on a running process. All the examples I've seen tend to rely on waiting for the process to finish. The process I'm running takes a while and I need to get stdout [and stderr] and be able to pipe them into a string for displaying in a web app.
