Thanks Ron, it appears that you were half right!! The other half was filled in by Stefano.

I found that doing this works:


PUBLIC SUB something()

SHELL "(pushd /directory; find ./ | cpio -vco | gzip -v > /path/to/archive/file) 2> /dev/stdout" WAIT FOR READ

END

PUBLIC SUB Process_read()

DIM sOut AS String
hStream = OPEN "/path/to/log/file" FOR APPEND

READ #LAST, sOUT, -256
PRINT #hStream, sOUT

END


I must say it's such a please to find pleasant and intelligent people who are will to share their knowledge!
Keep it up guys!! We're two for two now!

Thanks again!

Ben :-)
