s just the same. Is there an easier way to print the stream that comes back from TProcess? I think that the problem is in TStringList. On 21 May 2014 14:08, Mattias Gaertner wrote: > On Wed, 21 May 2014 13:00:58 +0200 > Peter Brooks wrote: > >> Sorry, I misled you. I did move

Sorry, I misled you. I did move it higher up, earlier, to test something, and I forgot to put it back. This version has exactly the same behaviour: -rw-r--r-- 1 peterbrooks wheel 0 21 May 13:00 output.txt Program nmp(input,output); uses Classes, SysUtils, Process; var AProcess: TPr

I've got a little program that just pings. It runs. I get a 0 error return, but there doesn't seem to be any output: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 21 May 11:09 output.txt So it's re-writing the output.txt file, but the written(AstringList.Text) isn't putting anything there. This is almost a dire

I'm a bit surprised. As it happens, just this week I compiled the fpc compiler from scratch on Mavericks. It worked perfectly well, and is compiling perfectly well - version 2.6.0. I was wondering, though, whether there was any enhanced support for features on the Intel 'Sandy-Bridge' and 'Ivy-Bri

[fpc-pascal] IPC - Persistent Objects - Triplestore

2013-08-29 Thread Peter Brooks
Does anybody know the best support in Pascal for an RDF triplestore? Is there one written in Pascal? I'm interested in Pascal's interprocess communication (IPC), in particular, shared memory and semaphores - on a unix platform (of course!), a Mac, actually. What I want to be able to do is share a

[fpc-pascal] Some general questions - I've been away from fpc for a while

2013-06-05 Thread Peter Brooks
I've been away from fpc for a while, but I'm thinking of using it because the simulation project that I'm working on looks as if it is well suited to it. I've looked at python, but the threading doesn't work. I've looked at Ada, which would be an excellent solution, but I don't really need it to be
