C user interface

[qazinor]

Hello,

I have a C little program wich takes some text as input and process it.
I would like to make a friendly user interface. I thought i could do it
with tcl/tk, but it turns out that it is not as easy as it
looks(or...). I just need to take the user input(text) and send it over
the c program for treatement. I'm not quite sure if tcl/tk is the best
choise. Anyone knows how to do this without much pain?

Thank You

This is off-topic here.

Depends on your OS. You may want to take a look at gtk (www.gtk.org),
it's cross platform and LGPL.

You'll get a more civil response in comp.lang.tcl. However what
you're asking is unclear. You can exec any program, passing a
string as command line argument or as stdin, and capture the
stdout or stderr. If you're to make a Tk GUI which communicates
with various programs to do computations, other people in the
Tcl community have experience doing this, communicating with
exec, bidirectional pipes, sockets, etc.

Re: C user interface

To whom it may concern, I found what I was looking for
http://etude.uwaterloo.ca/~ctrudeau/..._tk/tcl_C.html.
I really thought that there was a more simple way to do this.

Thank You.
