Thanks for your code. On first sight, it looks like your code doesn't
face that problem. However, as you take care that only complete lines
of the returned console output get added to the TStrings list, it only
*looks like* everything is OK. It isn't.

When you replace this snippet of your code
repeat
I := Pos(#13#10, Line);
if I > 0 then
begin
List.Add(Copy(Line, 1, I - 1));
Delete(Line, 1, I + 1)
end
until I = 0
with this one:
List.Add (Line);
Line := '';
you will see what I mean. Of course there will now be wrong line
breaks in the output (you can correct that of course, but for the
shortness of this posting it's sufficient).


So, yes, it seems there should be some kind of flushing in the
Firebird console utilities.
