Re^2: How to check a executable's status while running it.

I came up withj this

#Returns the status object of the sync process
    $oExec;
    
    $oExec = system($stepName);
    $ouputStream = "";
    
    while($? eq 0){
        Do While Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
           ouputStream = ouputStream & oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
        Loop
         sleep 100;
    }
    Do While Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
       ouputStream = ouputStream & oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
    Loop
    #WScript.StdOut.Write ouputStream

    return $oExec;
}

Does this look right? But system won't return the output...

`open( CMD, "$command \|" ) or die "Cannot open $command: $!\n"; while ( defined( my $line = <CMD> ) ) { # Do stuff with $line which is the output from $command } close CMD;` [download] Or, ikegami has a list of number of good modules that do similar things. My wife's blog	[reply] [d/l]
