I'm trying to write a program that interfaces with a command-line program. It isn't working, and I think I'm going to rewrite it from scratch. Does anyone have some code that works that I can look at?

EDIT:

My main problem is that when I read past the end of the output that the program has given, my program crashes. I don't know what to do about it...

Can you post some code? Your post is rather vague.

"latest" means V1.47?
Click on "Help" and "About BlitzPlus" to check the version number.

Eof() on a createprocess stream returns whether the process has terminated or not, doesn't it? My problem is there's no way to tell where the end of the text coming from the process is, and reading beyond it causes a crash...
