Hey, everyone.

I am writing a graphical front end for another application in Fantom. I have the following code to run the CLI program in the background:

Process gaudi := Process() // via sys::
gaudi.command = ["gaudi", params]
gaudi.out = null
gaudi.run()

It runs, okay, but how can I set direct the stdout from the program into a String variable. Redirecting .out to null works when I want nothing displayed at all, like in the shell, but assigning to a variable is what I want, I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Sam.

You can stream to a memory buffer like this:

buf := Buf()
p := Process() { command = ["fan", "-version"]; out = buf.out }
p.run.join
echo(buf.flip.readAllStr)

Thanks, Brian. :) I'll try it out.
