Can you tell us why you need an alternative?

on Unix and Windows you can use PIPES:

s prog="whoami",oldIO=$IO open prog:"QR" use prog read result c prog use oldIO w !,result

I am having trouble understanding this example in terms of the documentation for open:

What does the "QR" mean here? According to the docbook, the second argument to open should be in parenthesis, why that not necessary here?

Answer:

Both the "QR" and "|PIPES|" string are documented here:

Open "|CPIPE|":("dir":"R"):5 Use "|CPIPE|" Read sLine:5 Close "|CPIPE|"

Replace "dir" with your command, If you care about all the responses you'll need to do multiple read's and check $ZEOF or a timeout.
