[IronPython] retreiving output

[Larry O'Brien]

I sent the original of this offlist...

What I did in Pynk (article and source at
http://www.devx.com/TabletPC/Article/26666) was create a buffer class and
redirect Python's stdout to it:

	q = new OutputQueue();			
	sys.stdout = q.pythonOut;


...snip...

	public class OutputQueue
	{
		MemoryStream outStr = new MemoryStream(1024);
		StreamReader outRdr;
		public PythonFile pythonOut;

		public OutputQueue()
		{
			outRdr = new StreamReader(outStr);
			pythonOut = new PythonFile(outStr, "rw", false);
		}

		public string ReadToEnd()
		{
			pythonOut.flush();
			//Reset and read
			outStr.Position = 0;
			string retval = outRdr.ReadToEnd();
			outRdr.DiscardBufferedData();

			//Null it out
			outStr.Position = 0;
			byte[] nulls = new byte[retval.Length];
			outStr.Write(nulls,0,nulls.Length);

			//Reset for writing
			outStr.Position = 0;
			return retval;
		}
	}

Cheers,
Larry
