Message:

getting input stream from runtime.

Posted by vinod on October 24, 2001 at 5:55 AM

Hi,
I am executing a perl file at runtime which gives text as output.
it can have any number of lines. How can I display whatever the output to a text area?

I am following this method right now which is tedious and timeconsuming.

String f = new String();
int pkm = 1;

InputStream t = p.getInputStream();
while (true)
{
c = t.read();
f = f+(char)c;
screen1.textArea1.setText(f);
if(pkm >= 20000)
{
break;

}
pkm = pkm+1;

Please help he regarding this.

Thanks
Vinod
