integrating LV and tclsh

[spirit.varun]

Hello LV'ers,

I am new to LV , so far I  have a basic understanding of LV.

I am trying to integrate LV and tclsh, so that I can pass TCL commands and get data back. I did a brief research and found some  have achieved this by using activex control, call function node but no examples on how to do it.

I would appreciate help on this !!

Thanks,

Varun

Hi,

It shows on how to execute a tcl script from LV, I am looking for on how to keep the tclsh prompt open and send multiple commands and read thier output simultaneously. With this way , I get the total control from LV, and get response from the command instantly not having to wait till the script finishes executing, with this approach everything is integrated in LV which could be part of some other top level routine. In the example approach LV only intiates the script but doesn't keep track or follow after starting to execute the script, I have to manually look at the script results.

I am trying to achieve this : http://wiki.tcl.tk/8496
