Re: using pipe

Hello,

I don't want to use a buffer to store the output, as the output size
may be huge (saveral MBs).

So what? several MBs shouldn't be a problem, unless you are writting an
embedded application...

I want to keep this in a pipe (believing pipe takes storage from the
file system).

Nope. A pipe is a buffer in the kernel...

Then I will read the contents one string at a time and do the processing.
Is there a better way of doing it ?

If memory is _REALLY_ a concern, then write into a file.

Cheers,
Loic.
