Could also use popen.

Hi,
I have a function called fpgOpenURL(...) which contains the
following ....
if fpsystem('which xdg-open') = 0 then
Helper := 'xdg-open'
else if fpsystem('which firefox') = 0 then
Helper := 'firefox';
else if fpsystem('which konqueror') = 0 then
Helper := 'konqueror';
else if fpsystem('which opera') = 0 then
Helper := 'opera';
else if fpsystem('which mozilla') = 0 then
Helper := 'mozilla';
It tries to dected the preferred or installed web browser. If Helper
<> '' at the end, I know I found a web browser. But how do I catch
the output of fpopen('which xxx') so that I can set the full path of
the application in the 'Helper' variable.
eg:
instead of using 'xdg-open' I would prefer to set the full path
returned by 'which xdg-open' which is '/usr/bin/xdg-open'
I haven't done it myself, but I'm somewhat sure the standard answer
for
this case is:
Use TProcess. There is a wiki page about it.
;)
