Pipe between C++ program and a cmd console

问题:

I made a C++ program which spawns a command line and forwards commands to it. At the moment I'm sending the output of the cmd console to a file, and I'm reading it in my C++ program. But I want to make this work with pipes.

Is it possible to write to a named pipe from the Windows cmd line? I haven't found anything significant on this subject.

You can use _popen for this, it's included in the C stdlib, so it should work on Windows.

You can pass the name of the second executable to the popen call in the first program.

Your terminology confuses me a bit - but I'm assuming that you are using VC (Visual C++)

I found this answer (to a similar question) that better explains how pipes and forks work (Well explained pipes examples)
