(1) Simple method:

In a batch file;
SomeDOSProgram > SomeFile

Then when the batch file terminates, read the contents of SomeFile.

(2) More sophisticated way:

Redirect the standard output and standard error (with inheritable handles)
and CreateProcess SomeDOSProgram.  When SomeDOSProgram terminates, read the
redirected files.

I have both methods, and they both work.  (1) is probably simpler and is
good as a quick hack.

Hope this helps,
Dennis.

Hi all.
I have a wee windows console app.
it works fine, but it outputs data when it gets executed.
Is there a way I can get the data that gets output and return in to say, an
edit box or a memo field ??

cheers,
