I have an image analysis program that calculates two numeric variables (x and y coordinates) and has the ability to send data through a pipe protocol. I have tried passing the variables as arguments when running the script, but it's no good because I want to pass the variables to the script while it is running, not just at the start.

So is there a simple(ish) piece of code that will initiate a pipe, listen for two values and write those to variables?

Thanks in advance

lexikos demonstrates how to use pipes in one of his threads. Perhaps you may find some useful information there.

Yeah I had a look at that script when i searched for 'pipe', but I don't really understand the code. The original script runs code you give it, without interacting with any other program right? But I just want to set variables. I'm sure it uses some of the same code but I can't work it out myself.

Thanks for the quick reply though.
