Bill,
See ExternalProcess class by Robert Jarvis.
Depending on the exe you may need to run it inside a command shell to get
stdout/stderr.
For example: 'cmd.exe /c YOUREXE'

| Hello all,
|
| What is the approved way to fire off a command-line tool and wait for
| output? With the caveat that I am still working in a kludged 5.02 image
| (another run at 5.1 will happen soon, really<g>), #system: is deprecated,
| and #spawnForOutput: is marked private. The latter also didn't work
| terribly well for me, but that's probably my fault.
|
| I have two projects in mind. First is something to run InnoSetup's
command
| line compiler on a batch of setups (ideally getting hints from
| SuiteBuilder), and present the aggregate output to the user for
inspection.
|
| The second would wrap the main OpenSSL executable to simplify some routine
| tasks. Ideally, I'd like to embed a console window in a wizard
interface -
| any chance of that?? Failing that, it would be a help to simply open a
| console and run it with the correct arguments; a wizard would do that a
few
| times with different arguments.
|
| Have a good one,
|
| Bill
