OK...I'll change it to CreateProcess()

Remy, thats what I trying to avoid..i don't want to make it so complicated..
But OK, even when I use WM_COPYDATA, how do i fill the LPARAM structure...?

// Win 32 SDK says...

typedef struct tagCOPYDATASTRUCT
{
    DWORD dwData; // Specifies up to 32 bits of data to be passed to the
receiving application...
    DWORD cbData; // Specifies the size, in bytes, of the data pointed to by
the lpData member.
    PVOID lpData;
} COPYDATASTRUCT;

// dwDate = "MyTextfile.txt" ???
// cbData = FileSize("MyTextfile.txt") ???

so when I want to open the textfile that the main application has created,
i'm passing the filename as the first parameter to "PCRE.exe"

SendMessage(hWnd, WM_COPYDATA, 0, ???LPARAM???);

no problem ! but again how do i setup WM_COPYDATA for doing this...?

sorry..i realy don't understand the WM_COPYDATA..

OK I explain...it extracts strings with reg expressions and sends them back
to my
main application for doing more several operations..

PCRE is written under BCB 6, that supports as the name say
"Perl Compatible Regular Expressions"...My Main application (written in BCB
3)
doesn't have it..

i gave it up to use third-party PCRE libaries, no one of them has worked
well ! also i tryed many, many, many times to install various components
with Reg Expression Support, but I never could install them.. (the compiler)
couldn NOT install them..and using/including the PCRE header from BCB 6
into BCB 3 is absolutly NOT possible...so i choosed this cheesy solution..

..i going to sleep now..sorry i'm damn tired :-)
