Board index » Visual Studio » How can I capture the output of a system() call

Visual Studio324
Hi. I'd like to capture the output of a call to system() and store it in a

string. I believe this involves redirecting stdin but I'm not sure how to go

about doing that.



Any help is appreciated.

This looks like what I want, but the example is somewhat complex...is there

no simpler way to do this? I remember doing something like this in VB based

on a KB article a few months ago, and it didn't take nearly that much code.

See if you can use the _popen() API.
