Hi guys,

I'm playing with the idea to develope a graphical front-end for a console package manager of a linux distro. I have seen TProcess wiki and it is great to capture output. I did not understood well, though, if there a way to interact with the shell using TProcess. I mean, the user with this front-end should be able to answer to the package manager question (for example: Do you want to install (Y/n) ) etc.. . Is it possible to accomplish this with TProcess class ? Is there some example code that can help me ?

Thanks
Antonio

Try

There is an example in lazarus-ccr svn:
