You could easily write in Euphoria an enhanced system() that
would send the standard output to a temp file and then read it
and "return" it, but I guess you'd like to avoid the temp file entirely.
Does Tcl do this on DOS/Windows, or rather on UNIX?
With system(), and DOS in general, you can redirect
standard output as:
command > temp
Does anyone know how to redirect standard error?
I know in UNIX you can redirect both of them.
I still have as a high priority, a new kind of system()
that will give you the exit code from a command,
and won't start a new DOS shell.
