Working with other programs?

leitz · #1 11-Nov-2004, 16:35

Is there any tutorial or anyone can help me with some basic stuff about connecting my program with some others? Lets say with Mirc would be nice...
Example:

My program asks me for input string like:

CPP / C++ / C Code:


int main()
{
 char word[50];
 cout<<"Write some word: ";
 cin>>word;
 
 ...

 return 1;
}

Now how can I send this string to other program like MIRC and display it there?

Hey leitz. Welcome to GIDForums™.

I have written a tutorial that explains how to create a communication pipe between two programs. You can find it here. Unfortunately, in your case, that is written for *nix. I don't program a whole lot in windows, so I didn't look very hard, but I don't believe that windows has the "fork" command. So this may or may not help you.

You may want to look at this anyways, as what you are asking is probably not a trivial task.

Good luck.

Yeah, that is what I figured. I will poke around and see if there is anything I can find that will allow something similiar in Windows.
