gSystem->Exec output capture

ROOT
1

I launch a console application in a TThread with gSystem->Exec(“appname”).

Is there a way to capture the console output of the application?

I was thinking at this solution:
gSystem->Exec(“appname >log”).
and monitor changes of “log” file with another thread.

Have you a better solution?

Thanks
Paolo

Hi,

gSystem->OpenPipe() or gSyetem->GetFromPipe() should work.

Cheers, Axel.
