The documentation seems slightly confusing (to me). On Linux I want to open a process for update, then write the command to be executed and then read from the process and fill the output to a field.
The command takes anywhere from 1 minute to 8 minutes to execute and while it is running it outputs the various stages and results it currently has completed. In the terminal window if I just do the command line it produces anywhere between 20 to 100 lines of output where the final line has a unique output acknowledging that it has completed. How should I be writing my read from process? I assume that this should be done inside a repeat forever loop where you can trap the mouseclick to exit or check for the unique output line from the read process to exit. I can't seem to any output from the read statement? Finally, is there a way to make this non blocking (ie let it run and update the field while the user moves on to something else)? thanks, Glen _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
