c#

I'm using C# to read another program's STDOUT. If I do this:

StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput;
reader.ReadToEnd();

Is it guaranteed to get the last thing flushed out to the program's STDOUT in its entirety? Or is kind of like TCP where I'd have to have a message terminator or length header?

sys.stdout not reassigning to sys.__stdout__

I'm pretty new to Python so I am still just learning the language. One of the things I came across was reassigning sys.stdout to change the default output of print. So I wrote this as a test: import sys sys.stdout = open('log.txt','a') print('hey') sys.stdout.close() sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__ print('hi') Now… >>> More

How can I capture output from LFTP? (Output not written to STDOUT or STDERR?)

I would like get access to progress information from lftp. Currently, I'm using curl like so: curl http://example.com/file -o file -L 2> download.log This writes curl's progress information to the download.log file, which I can tail to get real-time progress. But the same approach doesn't work… >>> More

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
