Pipe process stdout to another process stdin?

Anyone know of a slick way to pipe the standard output of Process A
into the standard input of Process B (and then capture the standard
output of Process B)?

I've got it working with 2 Process objects, a thread that pushes A's
stdout into B's stdin via a looping structure, and a loop on the thread
where the processes were started from that captures the stdout from B.
I was hoping there was a cleaner way of doing this considering you can
do it all in one shot via the command line.

Ideas?

Thx in advance. =)
 
hi,

No AFAIK, that is a pretty simple way though. why you want to change it?

cheers,
 
The only reason I'd want to change it is because I'm always looking for
better ways to do things. If there was a more direct solution, like
being able to connect the streams, it would take some of the
complication out of my current solution like, for example, the thread
management.
