redirecting com2 output

[Ed Sexton]

I am writing a c program in which I would like to read the output from a
second program which writes to the com2 port. Is there a way in Windows to
redirect the com2 output to go to standard output so that I can use the pipe
symbol to allow my program to read it with a scanf?

Pardon me if this is an appropriate forum for this question.

It's an interesting question, but one that is better answered by Windows
experts than by C experts. I've cross-posted this reply to an appropriate
Windows group (c.o.m.p.win32) , and set followups to that group.
