I'm using this code here:-

Local m_versionProcess:wxProcess = New wxProcess.CreateProcess()

			Local command:String = cmdstring
			Local m_pid:Int = wxExecute(command, wxEXEC_SYNC, m_versionProcess )
	
			Local p_in:wxInputStream = m_versionProcess.GetInputStream()
			Local line:String
			
			If p_in Then
	
				Local textInput:wxTextInputStream = New wxTextInputStream.Create(p_in)
	
				While Not p_in.Eof()
					line = line + textInput.ReadLine()
				Wend
						
			End If
			
			m_versionProcess.free
			
			gframe.output.AppendText(line+"~n")

Which executes an file on Linux that creates some other files, thing is, even though its running, I'm not actually collecting any input data via ReadLine(), yet, instead, MaxIDE is managing to output it, like so:-

Building Project
Compiling:Project.bmx
flat assembler version 1.68 (32768 kilobytes memory)
4 passes, 144487 bytes.
Linking:Project
Executing:Project
<In external app>
Filecount: 5

Where I want to read that into my own app (The last two lines), in this case, into a wxControl call 'output'?

Oh, and this is for ubuntu! :)

Just noticed, the last few replies have just been replied to by the original author... Is this forum still active or what? :/

In fact, if I remove this bit:-

If p_in Then
	Local textInput:wxTextInputStream = New wxTextInputStream.Create(p_in)
	While Not p_in.Eof()
		line = line + textInput.ReadLine()
	Wend
End If

It works just the same, calls the process, and the guff from the external executable is churned out in the MaxIDE output page!
