displaying input/output of c programm on java gui
hi there...
i want to display the output of a c program that uses, printf's, puts on a
java gui. the c program has tones of these i dont want to edit them.
i am using JNI to run c from java.
does anybody know how i can capture the output of the c program and display it
on a java GUI..
cheers

Probably depends on where the C output is being written.
If it is going to sttdout, then you might be able to run the C program in a separate process, then capture the stdout and parse and display it (gag!)
Another idea - perhaps farfetched: write your own printf routine so that the data comes to a JNI shell instead of going where it is now? You'd have to do the smae for puts. Might not be too bad - you probably would only have to implement a small subset of the normal library capabilities.
