Anyone tried to use FIFO files from within LC? I'd like to use them to communicate with a Unix process from LC but not having any luck
I create two fifo files using the Unix mkfifo command. That works fine. The plan is to start the Unix process with the shell command, redirecting it's stdin to one of the fifo files and its stdout to the other fifo file, write a command to the stdin file, then read the output from the stdout file. No matter what order I do things in, LC hangs on either the put URL, get URL, or shell command to start the process. I think I'm probably out of luck but maybe someone who knows more about Unix than I can help? -- Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com> _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
