Hi João, Thank you for the solution. I ended up using the following, as it allows me to implemented synchronous processing (while still using EXEC_ASYNC):
local proc = wx.wxProcess.Open(cmd) -- this is using EXEC_ASYNC proc:Redirect() local streamin = proc:GetInputStream() local str = streamin:Read(4096) :Read() blocks waiting for input, which is exactly what I need.
