Pipe handling

Hi,

I am running an application through a pipe. This applcation starts to record sound from the soundcard until I hit Enter.

To start the application I am using the following line:

Code:

---

_cmd_pipe = _popen(recordWaveCmd.c_str(),"r")

---

then I use

Code:

---

fputc('\n',_cmd_pipe);

---

to send a "\n" to stop recording.

However, when I use the command

Code:

---

_pclose(_cmd_pipe);

---

my main application stops until i hit the Escape key, and that's a problem.

Is there anyway to solve this problem?

Best regards,

Alex.

Why are you trying to write to something that's opened read-only?

Accualy that is not the problem, already tried with "w". The application pauses when the _pclose function is called. I have to hit a key to continue the execution of the main application.
