[Gambas-user] Executing Shell command (also applies to Exec command), FMain form goes blank

[Jussi Lahtinen]

This doesn't make much sense.


sInstruction = "get_iplayer --force --get Shock --output " & sDirectory

Here you are directing all output to sLogFilename.



Shell sInstruction To sOutput
>

Here you are expecting something to appear to sOutput!
Interpreted is doing exactly what it supposed to do, wait for something to
write to sOutput.
That's why GUI isn't refreshed.
