Hi All,
I have got the following code from the wiki for creating and reading from an external process. Effectively, I want to capture all of the output from the process "handle.exe", into a StringList so that I can read it to make sure that everything went OK, however, when I run the following code, I am getting a "RunError(103) on the line: WriteLn('-- Going to run: ' + OurCommand);

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong please?
Is your application (that one which calls handle.exe) compiled as a GUI application or not? (check in the project settings) If it is compiled as a GUI application then disable the option and recompile. An additional console window should now appear when you run the application from within Lazarus in which you'll see your output. Reason: on Windows the I/O is closed on startup if the application is compiled as a GUI program (Delphi compatible) Alternatively you could use a Memo. Either you directly use YourMemo.Add('...') or if you want to keep using Writeln, I have a unit sent somewhere on the mailing list some days ago that allows you to assign a memo or edit to a TextFile so that you could use either Writeln(YourFile, '...') or you could override "Output" so that you could keep using Writeln('...').

Regards,
Sven
