Hi

Is it possible, using only fortran, to capture stdout from a call system() invocation?

best,

whithout capturing it to a file and reading it later, off course...

Yes, that would be useful and I've needed this capability. Unfortunately I know of no way to do this from just Fortran - other than the redirection of output to a file which is then opened and read.

Ah! Would rreis post it a day earlier, and ronald replied, it would have save me few days!!i was stuck with same problem with
call system ('uname -snm>>file.log') to run only to see this happns to stdout but not in other file.
i had to have a short encounter with c to do this....thanks to both of you.
