STDIO to Console Applications

[nz8r]

Greetings All,

I have a console application that is stdio friendly, however--I don't see anything about fopen in the Aspect docs about arguments to run and exec to catch these "files".

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Is it an interactive application that will be continually running, or can you redirect the output to a temporary text file that Procomm could read? I'm not aware of another way for ASPECT to read from stdio.

Yes, it's somewhat interactive--like Telnet. Something like tail for msdos might help, but still requires files--something I'd like to avoid.

Is this an application you can tailor to fit your needs, or a third-party app? One other thing I thought about was you could pass messages via environment variables (ASPECT can read environment variables using the getenv command, but I've heard of some problems on Win9x platforms I think).

Yes, it's an application of our design--although we'd rather not change it. If you're thinking about he .dll interface--that's a possibility!
