Need to Read & Write on command prompt

[123]

I have to develop one application to communicate with my hardware. I am running my C program code through command prompt and I have to read the data from command prompt at the same time when command prompt is running. Also I want to write on command prompt. I want to execute read & write function simultaneously.

 

I tried one example for this (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/URGENT-How-we-read-stdout-directly/m-p/802382?view=by_date_ascending), but it’s not working properly for my purpose (due to copy paste concept used in it)

 

It would be great if I get any help from anyone.

Many people use Rolfs oglib_pipe but the real solution is to come into the 21st century and stop writing CLIs.

I tried oglib_pipe but not able to read the written data on command prompt.

Maybe you should post your code so we can see the issue.

Careful, if you don't use a CLI you have to come up with your own new, custom solution to making your code hard to use and your features undiscoverable.

Stop reinventing the wheel people!

Ahh. That explains LVPOOP.

Pre LVOOP - LabVIEW is "Programming for Engineers and Scientists"

Post LVOOP - LabVIEW is "Programming for people with Computer Science Degrees"

 

Not that I am a bitter vet or anything. hehe

Craig, it's not like they took features out of LabVIEW when they introduced LVOOP did they?

[CraigC]

Nope, I actuallly use LVOOP. Still dont like it though.  Just being facetious :).
