[Gambas-user] capture gambas debug console events?

[mikeB]

This is what I have ended up doing - so problem is now solved.

Dim GP as String
GP = MaskBox5.text

Shell "steghide embed -cf " & TextBox2.text & " -ef " & TextBox3.text & 
" -p " & GP & "  > embed_results.txt"

this creates a file that contains the terminal results - I never knew 
this was possible - a great thing to learn!

then I display the created file into a textarea box to display the 
status then kill it. Suggestion to direct to a string might of been 
better - I'll experiment with that too;-)

thanks for all the replies - I learned a lot of what I consider 
important info since I'm doing a lot of shelling out to the terminal in 
some/ most apps I'm developing.

have a GREAT day and a BIG THANKS to all again,
mikeB
