Hello,
I want my program to execute a command [ ie, System(..) ], and read the resulting output into a String.
Im having a hard time finding information on how to do this (no doubt its out there, I just don't know what to look for).
Can anyone share and example or point me in the right direction?
Thanks
It's platform specific. The C language has no facility to do this directly. See http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q19.30.html.
Use popen() if your system has it.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Yes, that's what the FAQ said that I posted
