Writing to text editors from C

[gorded]

so i can open up nano/vim with

system("nano");

but how would i write to nano's stdin

Thanks

You can't write to a file and then open it in nano?

[gorded]

Yes but i would like the program to open nano and write to a file infront of the user (effect)

[Mr.Macdonald]

experiment with python or shell first, open nano in another terminal, and start writing to all the std* with python or shell, then you'll know

you could right something to file.. and in another shell have it do tail -f file

for example

touch hello.txt; tail -f hello.txt

then in another shell
echo "Hi" >> hello.txt

and see if that works
