Executing a command in C program & Redirecting output to String array

Then the restrinction would be the size of the array. If your output increases the size of the array. Anyway, just execute the command and read the input from stdout stream. Otherwise , you can redirect your output to any other stream and read that stream , this is the concept . <br><br>Does this answer your question ?<br>Thanx<br>Siddhatha Singh<br> <p>Siddhartha Singh<br><a href=mailto:siddhu_singh@hotmail.com>siddhu_singh@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=siddhu.freehosting.net> </a><br>
