Re: Can't get it working: Bidirectional Pipe on Windows

Having once wasted a bit of time as you are now doing with bidirectional transfers over a single pipe, I said “to well with this!” and switched to using a pair of unidirectional pipes. Problem solved. It is, simply, a “more satisfactory all-around” stratagem in my humble. You’re not getting value from using a single pipe to warrant the emptied hair follicles.

A pipe is a unidirectional I/O channel that can transfer a stream of bytes from one process to another. Bi-direction pipe IO always involves two pipes.	[reply]

I think that if you look at the code instead of just the node title, you will see that the OP does has 2 uni-directional pipes - one for transmission and one for reception. The challenge here is how to make this work in an easy multi-platform way. Can you help us with a solution?	[reply]
