Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Generating hexadecimal data and printing directly on the terminal

Hi Guilherme,

as I explained in that StackOverflow post I wanted to link to and then
forgot:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51743074/gnu-radio-companion-how-ca
n-i-convert-float-stream-to-be-printed-to-console/51753814#51753814

add a file sink to your flow graph which writes to /tmp/randomname (or
anything else)

mkfifo /tmp/randomname #generates a named pipe
python2 myflow.py &
my_second_app.py < /tmp/randomname | …

Best regards,
Marcus
