Re: stop pipe

Instead of closing the filehandle, how about killing the subprocess with kill()? I have no idea if that works on Windows but it's what I'd try if I had this problem on Linux.

tx, samtregar but "closing the filehandle" was only my first idea to open and close that pipe as i want only by clicking on the buttons. But it dont seems so easy. I can open the pipe easy but its not possible in this way to close the process... It seems to be a much more complex process :-(	[reply]

Hi, here are some extra nodes....sorry I don't use win32....and pipes are the one thing Win32 has trouble with, especially with Tk. See: Capture PID from child process on Windows.
