Hi all, I have an Lua / IUP
script that runs other scripts which in turn run external programs. This is all
running with Lua For Windows. I use io.popen to start
any external [program and wait in a loop for an EOF from the output pipe.
Within this loop I call iup.flush{} to keep the parent Windows GUI app “alive” This all works fine for
as long as there is output from the external program. If not, the read from the
pipe blocks (until the program ends) and my Windows GUI freezes. Is there a simple way
around this without using specialist libraries etc? Can you do
non-blocking IO with standard Lua? Many Thanks, Bob ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
