Jussi, I've obviously failed to explain this properly. I want the Shell command to execute the program get_iplayer with specified parameters. I also want stdout & stderr to be written to a file: the reason being is that get_iplayer has a tendency to hang/crash so writing stdout & stderr to a variable would be no good. Whilst get_iplayer is executing, I want the FMain form to still be displayed with its controls showing (i.e. the form should not be blank).
I presume that the Exec command is not available to me as bash is required to redirect stdout & stderr to a file. I thought that the second form of the Shell command (as described in the documentation) would be best. Due to the redirection of stdout & stderr to a file, I would expect the 'To' variable to be empty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
