I'm cross developing a program in free pascal running FreeVision. When running under Linux / Busybox; I'm attempting to mount a device to scan it for a set of files. Since I'm running a TUI (Text User Interface); I cannot have the BusyBox mount command printing failure information to the screen where it corrupts the TUI. The pascal code:
Exec( '/bin/mount', '/dev/'+ aline +' /media/' + aline + ' &> /dev/null'); When running: Exec( '/bin/mount', '/dev/'+ aline +' /media/' + aline ); I see "device busy" STDERR messages appear on the screen. However, when I try to redirect using the ' &> /dev/null' it appears as tho the BusyBox executable is being passed ' &> /dev/null' as a parameter and isn't taking it as the appropriate redirection command. I tried the following kludge instead: var OurPipe : Text; popen( OurPipe, '/bin/mount /dev/'+ aline +' /media/' + aline, 'R'); Try if (fpgeterrno=0) then Flush (OurPipe) ELSE MessageBox ('mount pipe error ' + IntToStr(fpgeterrno), nil, mfError or mfOKButton); Finally PClose( OurPipe ); END; however, I'm getting an Accessviolation. unsure if I'm even going down the right path. Any other suggestions?
