Re: StdOut and StdErr reading...

I'm working on a script to automate SFTP operations (using a text-
based sftp client).
My idea is to use the Exec() method to run the client, send commands
via StdIn and receive output via StdOut and StdErr.

The problem is that when I try to read buffers using ReadAll or
AtEndOfStream, those methods are blocking and never ends... for StdOut
I was able to find a condiction (when I read "sftp>" from the buffer)
to end reading, but for StdErr? Is there a way to know how many chars
are in the buffer to use the Read(n) method which is not blocking?

Hello,
I dropped a project I was working on (reading e-mails using vbs as an interface for
netcat) because I had some problems as yours.
Can you confirm I can read a stream before it is closed and while the output is still
being writing?
Thank you.
Giovanni.
