Hello...
I'm new to Ruby and I need some help with managing an external
process. I'm on Windows, and I want to do something (overly simplified)
like this:
File.new(file_to_be_handled_by_outside_process.txt)
system ("C:\\filewatcher.exe file_to_be_handled_by_outside_process.txt")
<write stuff to file_to_be_handled_by_outside_process.txt>
The foreign process started by system() never stops. I need to
return control to the Ruby script after the system() call so that I can
have the Ruby script generate information for the foreign process to
handle.
Any suggestions would be welcome...
