Input/Output Question
Jun 2nd, 2008, 11:50pm  
hi all,
I have a question concerning inputing and outputing information...

Here's the setup: I have a program that is receiving input once per second from an outside source. Currently, I have the program set up to log all of the information in an output folder upon pressing a key. This works well, but...

My question: Is there any way to have the output folders update every time the program receives new data, instead of all at once after all of the data has already been transmitted?

Thanks in advance,
dotch101

The question is a bit too generic to be easy to answer. It depends on the input source, or, rather, on the library that handles it: does it have to be polled regularly, or does the library use a callback to notify of new input?
Actually, in either case, I don't see why you cannot output the gathered data, either on receive event or after polling event.
