The program will read in a text file with a bunch of numbers, do some processing on them, then create an array based on those numbers. Each element of the array will be passed through a function which will create an appropriate data set for that entry. The data will be used to create a temporary file and a command line argument using that file.
I didn't think this was relevant before so I didn't mention it. Basically, the program does some work and comes up with a list of commands to run.

Ah, that's a rather important question I forgot to address! The programs are independent. Dependencies make for complicated programs; mine is just a basic one.

I'd like it to be passed back to the program as a string, if possible. It should not be displayed.

This one I'm working on does not, but I'd like a method that could send input because other similar programs I'll write will probably need to do this.

I just changed my OS to 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04. The programs are processor-intensive 64-bit programs with small-medium memory footprints.
