subject: Capturing output

Hello All,

I am (still) writing a REXX-program, for which it would be nice if I could
capture the output of OS/2-programs which I run from the REXX-script. I
could use this to examine the output of the program, or to write the output
of the program to both the screen and a logfile.

For clarity; the OS/2-program has to be started from the REXX-script, and
after the program finishes, the same REXX-script has to analyse the output
(so I can't pipe the output of the program to the REXX-script or something
like that, everything has to happen within the same REXX-script).

If possible, I don't want to use temporary files, so I can't redirect the
output of the program to a temporary file, and then read this file from the
REXX-script.

Does anybody know whether this is possible, and, if so, how it can be done?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Regards,
  Ruud  (Internet: rsenden{at}cs.ruu.nl)
