I've setup a test where I run a command-line app that needs lots of attention, so to speak. It should (does) have lots of output but I can't seem to get any. Its interactive so a one-shot run isn't possible but if it were I could do that.

I have:

Code:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self selector:@selector(dataRead   name:  
NSFileHandleReadToEndOfFileCompletionNotification object: outputFileHandle];

before I launch the task. And, in my dataRead method I have NSLog(@"got something"); for now. Is that right?

Im just a confused newbie, I guess. Any ideas or help would be great!

Thanks in advance!

forget to add [outputFileHandle readInBackgroundAndNotify]; into that code snippet.

..and I should've disabled smilies.

Nevermind. I've figured it out (basically).

It goes something like:

Code:
- (void)runTask:(NSString *)myTask;
{
  //..minus setup.

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self selector:@selector(dataIsAvailable:)
         name:NSFileHandleDataAvailableNotification object: outputFileHandle];

    [task launch];

    [outputFileHandle waitForDataInBackgroundAndNotify];
}

- (void)dataIsAvailable:(NSNotification *) aNotif
{
//get the availableData from the NSFileHandle and do stuff with it
}

;

Great!
