Hey guys,

        I'm a Linux guy, but I was recently asked to do a small app in Windows.
I'm hoping if won't be so bad since I'm going to use D and Mango.

        One of the things this app needs to do is run an exe and grab it's standard
output.  So, what's the easiest way to do this in Windows (and D)?

Thanks,
        John Demme

You could try this.

Unfortunately this is ridiculously complex on win32.  Although Regan's class looks pretty sweet .
