[Gambas-user] Reading from Process

[Peter Moers]

hi,
Yet another problem :).
To control the parallel port I've written a small program in C that
keeps running waiting for input. Sending text to the process goes good
with PRINT #$hProc... But when I do printf("blah\n") in C
Process_Read() isn't fired in Gambas. I tried to run my program in the
console example and it has the same problem. When I make it crash (no
error handling at all in my C program) I get the error message but not
my data right before it ends. In a terminal it does what it has to do.
It's probably something in the C program. I always end printf with \n
but that seems not to be enough to fire Process_Read() although the
program is EXEC ["lptcmd"] FOR READ WRITE.
I just learned some C to write this program, so if printf() isn't good
please explain what I should use and why. Maybe one day I'll speak C
and Gambas fluently :)

regards,
