[Gambas-user] Exec & Standard Output

[John Rose]

When I run a CLI program (which I didn't write) in Terminal, lines are
displayed as I would hope in terms of line feeds:

When I run a Gambas app calling that CLI program (with same parameters
as in Terminal), there seem to be very long lines with resultant line
feeds at odd places. The results shown below are from the 'Print "SO=" &
sLine' command shown in the code fragment later:

 Code fragments:
  aExecParameters = ["/opt/Enigma/turing_bombe_all_wheels", sMenuPath]
  pturing_bombe = Exec aExecParameters Wait For Read As
"TuringBombeResultsDetail"

Public Sub TuringBombeResultsDetail_Read()
  ' when turing_bombe sends a results detail line to Standard Output
  Dim sLine As String
  Read #Last, sLine, -256
  Print "SO=" & sLine
  With ResultsDetailTextArea
    .Text &= sLine & "\n"
    .Refresh
  End With
  Print #fResults, sLine
Catch
  Message.Warning("Error displaying standard output in
ResultsDetailTextArea:\n" & ERROR.Text) 
End

I think that it's something to do with -256 in the Read command above.
How do I correct this coding to do the same as running the CLI program
in Terminal?
