I found that c code. It is for a server-socket and client-socket. Two separate programs which we could call from live code with a shell command and give arguments if needed. JB > On Dec 18, 2019, at 12:56 PM, doc hawk via use-livecode > wrote: > > > On Dec 18, 2019, at 12:51 PM, JB via

Actually as I said in the first post I do not really need it. I was reading the manual about something else which I have already forgot and I ran across the code so I tried it. But I am interested in messing around with writing to another application if you have any examples. Also if you needed

A year or so ago I was messing around with the terminal in c code and found some code that opens two terminals and they talk to each other. Is that something I can use to communicate with live code too? JB > On Dec 18, 2019, at 12:47 PM, doc hawk via use-livecode > wrote: > > > On Dec 18,

I really don’t use the shell or terminal much. When you say it is awkward I suspect I did not do it right. All I did was open the terminal and use open with the path and it opened live code. Should I have written something else? Am I supposed to launch a process? JB > On Dec 18, 2019, at
