Hi,

Until now I used the " FILE* popen(const char *, const char*)" to open one pipe
and I got one "c style" file descriptor back.

What I need is a similar system call to open a pipe, but instead of getting a
file descriptor I need a "C++ -style" fstream (class fstream).

Can anybody help me?
best regards
Laszlo

Since popen is not in the _standard_ C++ language,
have you tried asking the experts in a newsgroup
devoted to your platform or operating system?

Look at C++-wrapper around the popen() system call :
