I want to exchnage data between two windows applications. Could it be done through file i/o? Also explored TCP, UDP ,pipes etc. But I am looking for simpler method.
+1 for Linux in that respect and I love Dick's explanation!
I haven't used Windoze for years but I would imagine it has similar capability. If you do use files for IO, make sure you check for their existence before reading and especially make sure they don't contain old information as your application starts reading for the first time.
