Console Applications/Output Capture - 18/02/03 11:23 PM
I'd like to see a method for capturing output from applications.
It doesn't sound useful, but really it could be. Right now you can mess around with timers and BATCH scripting, but its a tad messy.
I've seen it done (say, in, Editplus), and feel it could be a great extension to usuability.
I understand that mIRC supports both COM objects and DLLs, but this would make things even better - you could capture output from anything that runs off of a command line.
Developers could find this useful indeed, as they would only need to know a basic amount of a programming language to achieve real goals.
Anyway, just a thought.
PS:
Another advantage, you could handle encryption externally, thus creating some form of security in a script.
