I'm using ExecuteProcess to run a commandline application. This application returns information to stdout. I have tried to pipe this to a file, but unfortunately this does not work. I keep getting a message like: "error resolving case of '>'"
Is ExecuteProcess not capable of handling pipes, is there a workaround, or an alternative??

Have you checked out AssignStream. It works well.. might be available on

*nix

only though.

I will check it, although I "prefer" a platform independent aproach.

Same .. if anyone knows of other ways to pipe, let us know.

The cross platform solution for fpc is using TProcess. Since it is asked so many times, there is even a wiki page about it: http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/kb/index.php/Executing_External_Programs

Use TProcess. Works currently on windows and unixes. See the Lazarus IDE sources for ways how to use it.
