Get a process id for an application

Hi All.

I want to get the process for an application running.

If I execute “pgrep” from a terminal program, it returns fine, but I have no idea how to get that variable into my program.

I have tried a method and a shared method, but neither seems to work.

Any ideas?

Regards

What is your code? Capturing the result of a shell command isn’t that complicated. There are lots of examples here in the forum.

Hi Beatrix.

You were right. It isn’t hard. But I couldn’t find the right phrase to search on.

As soon as you put “result of a shell command” everything clicked.

:smiley:

Thank you.

Regards
