C user interface

[qazinor]

Hello,

I have a C little program wich takes some text as input and process it.
I would like to make a friendly user interface. I thought i could do it
with tcl/tk, but it turns out that it is not as easy as it
looks(or...). I just need to take the user input(text) and send it over
the c program for treatement. I'm not quite sure if tcl/tk is the best
choise. Anyone knows how to do this without much pain?

Thank You

This is off-topic here.

Depends on your OS. You may want to take a look at gtk (www.gtk.org),
it's cross platform and LGPL.

You'll get a more civil response in comp.lang.tcl. However what
you're asking is unclear. You can exec any program, passing a
string as command line argument or as stdin, and capture the
stdout or stderr. If you're to make a Tk GUI which communicates
with various programs to do computations, other people in the
Tcl community have experience doing this, communicating with
exec, bidirectional pipes, sockets, etc.

To whom it may concern, I found what I was looking for
http://etude.uwaterloo.ca/~ctrudeau/..._tk/tcl_C.html.
I really thought that there was a more simple way to do this.

Thank You.
