Hi, I have no experience with cygwin, but I downloaded a Windows .exe which is a unix program compiled for Windows with cygwin. Several cygwin dll's are included.
I can run this program from the DOS command line. An example command line is: c:\progra~1\freeli~1.4\analyzer -f data\config\en.cfg < c:\split.txt > new.txt But I would like to launch it from another Windows application - a graphic interface I am writing for it, in fact. However, when I supply the above command line to the Windows CreateProcess function as the lpCommandLine parameter, I get the error message "CONFIG_OPTIONS: Error -11 parsing command line. unknown option '' at position 4 in command line" ie. the redirection symbol <. It doesn't matter whether or not there is a space after the redirection symbol. This is the same error message as produced when a commandline parameter which is genuinely in error is supplied to the program, so it seems that the combination of CreateProcess and cygwin is passing the redirection parameter to the program in some mutated form, whereas it arrives correctly from the command line. Any ideas gratefully received.
