stdin, stdout howto

[karu]

Hi, i have a program(1) that launch the other program(2). After the program 1 is launched the program 2, program 1 send message to program 2 stdin, program 2 receive message, do something with it and write message to stdout and program 1 receive it. Program 1 can be done in purebasic, but problem is that i cant find howto do program 2 in purebasic, beacause purebasic stdin an stdout working only in "master" mode like program 1, where it runs program and afte that use stdin and stdout, i cant find solution how to use stdin and stdout without running program.
In help is line: ReadProgramString Reads a line from the output (stdout) of the given program. The program must have been started with RunProgram()

Thanks
Karu

Hi karu,

you have to open a console,
then you can use ReadConsoleData() and WriteConsoleData() for stdout and stdin.
ConsoleError() for stderr.
