Often I want to postprocess some output from a Shell command - Ok, pipe it to a temp file and read it in - thats fine, works.

But what about an external command (KiXpipe say) that could make that output stream available inside a script, this is what I am getting at...

code:

---

 
SHELL "IPCONFIG /ALL |KIXPIPE arrayname. "
? arrayname.0+" = size of returned array"
? arrayname.1+" = first line"
? arrayname.2+" = and so on"

---

If I have missed this in the 2001 manual - just shoot me now.

If this is regarded as a good idea, I cant take credit - REXX does this on NT - its called RXQUEUE or something.
