Preventing a called exe file from writing to the console
I have an application that needs to call an exe file a lot of times during its run.
Both appliactions (the caller, and the one being called) are Win32 console applications.
Now, here is my problem:
The exe file that my application calls write a lot of data to the console.
This data does not interest me, and it only messes with the data I write to the console.
Is there a simple way to prevent the called exe from writing to the console?
I heard something about pipes, but since I know nothing about them, I don't even know if this is the right direction for me.
Important points:
- I can't modify the called exe file.
- The data that the called exe writes to the console has no meaning for me, so I don't care if it goes nowehere, as long as I don't see it.
- I call the exe file a lot of times from my applications, and the whole thing needs to run fast.
Any tip would be appreciated.
