CString
-
Hello. Is there a way to read the (stdout) output from another application directly into a CString? ie) when I specify my application in a series of piped command-line apps, what is the best way to read from stdin, so that I can read data directly into a CString rather than have to worry about the length of the lines of input data? Thanks in advance. James.

I do not know if you can do that using
stdinwithout using a intermediate buffer of some kind. You can always continue to readstdinin chunks, like reading it into a 1KB buffer and appending the buffer to theCString, until you hit the end of the output data (EOF). There may be a way to do it using the C++ stream classes andstd::string, but I am not certain if you will not still have to use some intermediate transfer mechanism. Peace!-=- James

See DeleteFXPFilesThanks for the reply. I have ended up using a 'string' class object to read into from cin and getting a const char pointer to it, so that I can get the data into a CString. What a mess, but it works. Thanks. James.
