Executables and Standard Input

[Brandon]

Hello,

I need to start an executable and feed it data through standard input.

I know how to do this with other languages but can't figure out how to
do it with ruby.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Try http://www.rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_io.html#IO.popen for
starters, also if you need to control stderr search for popen3, etc.
