How about native Pipe functions in PB?

Ive been trying forever to get Pipes to work, and i havent had much success.

How about something like:

PipeID=CreatePipe(#pipe, pipename$,Flags)

PipeID=IsPipe(pipename$)

Basically, native pipe functions could allow for communication between threads, apps, DLLs ect. If i had a pipe named "datatransfer", i could use the IsPipe()function to return the ID of the pipe, and then manupilate that pipe in another thread.

This would be a great addition to PB .

In the meantime, you can try and use the code in this thread:

Yes, it's a good idea! It should work on all platforms, then I can often use it.

I second that too

i never used pipes to now, but looks like a good idea
