Any way to shell Asynchronously?

Post by BarrySumpter » Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:47 am

This is the Asynchronous definition for the shell command from REALbasic.
Anything similar in LiveCode?

1-Asynchronous. The shell executes its command and returns data via the DataAvailable event. It does not wait for a command to finish before executing the next command. An asynchronous shell script can run in the background.
All my best,

Hi barry,

Use open process instead of shell.

Best,
