    Lightbulb data transfer

    Does anybody know how transfer data between two different "user created" programs without using a data file? If so could you give some code?

    fopen

    Hmm, try searching for previous questions concerning pipes: popen, pipe, and other such functions.

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Smile data transfer

    I am using UNIX. I just want to transfer data between two user created programs using C. I can do this using a file. But, I don't get the performance I need.

    Thanks

    In that case, do what vVv and Prelude suggested - look up pipes and semaphores.

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
