This isn't specifically a D question, but seeing as it's for

I figure it can go here :)
On Windows, I want to be able to spawn a console and then
interact with
its stdin/out asynchronously, similar to how forkpty [1]
works on linux.
I'm improving my dexpect library [2] to work with windows
machines and
this bit has me stumped. There doesnt seem to be much info
about it that
I can find (though my google-fu mightn't be good enough!!)
I'm sure theres someone here who knows something?
Thanks!

Did you try creating a new process which is cmd?
Because std.process should be able to handle the IO part.
I have, but they all block i/o and so I cant continually read
from its output :/
What I mean is, if the cmd.exe hasnt flushed it's output, my
cmdPid.stdout.readln (or whatever) will block until it does. I
dont really want this.
I guess I need to make another thread to do this so I wont block
the main thread?
