Hello everybody!
Interbase 6, Windows 2000, Delphi6 sp1.
The title of my message is maybe a little bit confusing. Anyway, here is
what I wish to accomplish.
I need to write an application that will maintain my database. The
application will use gbak and gfix utilities. When I invoke them with my
program I naturally need to be able to access their output. As far as I
can see they print to a "cmd" window when invoked manually.
Question 1: how can I change that and be able to access their output in
my application??
Question 2: what is a good way of invoking them from my program?
"ShellExecute"? "CreateProcess"?
Of course I could just run a bat script instead of calling gbak and gfix
from my program but then it I would loose some flexibility, control,
and besides that I have not much experience with scrips at all.
Please, help me!
Best regards,
Anatoly
