Hi,

I'd like to be able to run an external program (a kind of daemon) and then grab his output "information by information" and in REAL TIME. Then in the caller/main program I will test the output (with IF or CASE statements) and act accordingly.

If it seems possible to test on output I have no idea how to achieve this :
- "Format" the output (from called program) to make single operations ("information by information")
- To get output in real time. As per example
(http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Executing_External_Programs) output is returned and the end of called program. I'm not sure the other example (large file) is relevant too.

Does anyone have thoughts on this please ?

Thanks.
Tom
