Passing data between QM exe's - Stdin, Stdout?

[stupomer]

Hi Gintaras,
I am interested in passing data (str, array, int values) between QM-compiled executable applications and different programs running on the same PC - 2 scenarios:

1) Between two separate QM-compiled executables:
I know how to pass arguments via run command line using ExeParseCommandLine but not how to pass information in an I/O stream or pipeline between two running exe's. So currently, I do this all by setfile and getfile to local txt files. I think this must be slower and also sometimes is a problem when txt file gets locked for some reason.

2) Between tcl script in a application that uses a tcl compiler as it's API scripting lanugage and concurrently running QM-compiled executable.

I think Stdout Stdin may apply but not sure:

Also looked at these QM forum posts:

and more relevant to Stderr

Thanks for any ideas,
