Using pipes.

[ahenry3068]

How about working through the _Clipboard?

    That might work sometimes but I really want to do something like this   

Basic.ish psuedo code:

   shell _dontwait "someprogramIneed | mypipe"

   open "mypipe" for input as #1

   do
      LINE INPUT #1,  MyVar$
      Parse_Var_and_TakeAction MyVar$
  loop until EOF(mypipe)
