pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT7 Jun 2025 13:03:01 Z12 Oct 2010 09:23:36 ZHi All: In WInDev, I need to run an external program in Command Line (for example, using ExeRun()), and read the output from this program from the WinDev application. I know it's possible to redirect to a file using the ">" operator, but for some reason it's not working, because when I call the program like "program.exe > tempfile.txt", the program.exe takes the ">" symbol as a command line option, so the shell is interpreting the ">" symbol as a command line and not as a redirection command... Anyway, I would also like to avoid using files between the external program and WInDev application, so my question is if there is a way to read the output from the external program directly from WinDev. The Output is the Standard Output defined in Windows, so we would need to capture this STDO from WinDev. Any help would be appreciated.
