I've used it a little. getInputStream and getOutputStream get stdout and stdin, respectively, which always seems a little bit backward to me ( just the naming, not the direction ). You can read the data that comes in on the stream and put it somewhere useful. I've often wished for a InputStreamToOutputStreamBridge, but as far as I know, you have to do it yourself. Hope this answered the question you asked. Bill --- Perry Hoekstra <dutchman at uswest.net> wrote: > Greet the sun all: > > Has anybody worked with the exec statement?
