For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Automatic running tkcon with any script?

Posted by Dimon (Dimon), 11 May 2006
Hi esteemed experts,
I have a question I hope simpler than I usual have to ask  
Tcl/Tk program (a GUI shell for several command-line c utilities) calls them and redirect output (from stdout) into its own console.
But I have one program which output data I cannot redirect into virtual channel created by 'open' command (I don't know why).
Well, I thinking to run it into separate dos-style console window to see output data. When I call it from Tcl/Tk GUI shell, program's console window is hided from user.

The question is: can I run tkcon or cmd window from tk script (with 'source' command) and automatic start my c-program within it? If yes, how to do it?

OS: Win 2K SP4 with post SP
Tcl version: 8.4.2 with thread support
Tk version: 8.4.2

It may be simpler, but it's off my realm of expertise I'm afraid - I could answer that under Linux or OS X.   I'me NOT seated at a windows box at the moment so can't try out the following ...  Does cmd.exe take any options that would help?   try help cmd and it may give you a clue

Or maybe try the 'run' command. (Just a shot in the dark).
