From: Fredrik Date: 2007-10-12T11:40:03+09:00 Subject: Ignore printout I am using a compiled C-code in my Ruby program. The problem is that the C-code prints some messages that I don't want to show in my Ruby program. What would be the best way to get rid of these printouts? I don't want to get into the original C-code and take away the print commands since that is not my code. Are the printouts sent directly to standard output, meaning there is no way for Ruby to interfere? Thanks for any help! /Fredrik
