linking data from a terminal to a c++ application

[jorge01]

i am new to the world of c++ and only need c++ for a very specific task.

the task is this:

i have server which is shooting out live time data which i would like to feed into my c++ application. i've googled but have not found anything that could help me. the server is an independent application.

to all C++ experts any idea on how to proceed would be appreciated (and apologies for any inconsistency in technical terminology (this is due to my ignorance in c++)).

cheers

Shooting out how and to where?

helios, thanks for your interest,

i need to analyse financial data from a financial terminal (well in reality the purpose is to analyse the same financial data coming out from different financial terminals).

i would like to export this data onto a windows application i am working on c++.

what i am looking for is a link between the terminal and my windowd my application. any suggestions?
