I made an IDE and I want to get the compile error message.

I am using createprocess with "bmk makeapp " to compile, but how do I get the error message if it doesn't compile?

Each TProcess object has two pipes you can read, one for stdin, one for stderr. Look in the sourcecode for the actual names.

I looked at the code and tried this but I'm not getting anything from process.err.readline()
Any help would be appreciated. thx

		Local process:tprocess
		Local error:String
		process = createprocess(maxpath + "\bin\bmk makeapp " + pagemain.filename)
		Repeat
			If process.status() = 0 Then Exit
			error = process.err.readline()
			If error <> "" Then
				Print error
			EndIf
		Forever

Hi, this is a small sample I have written for the german community and it shows how to readout the err pipe for making
an extended error handling like in WOW etc.

Maybe this will show you how to get it to work.

The MaxIDE source code is good place to look, search for use of the bytebuffer class.
