Manipulate system command's output

Hi, I've created a c++ program which prints lines of data to stdout. My goal is to run the program from MATLAB, and for each line (in real time!) to perform some calculations.

I currently have an exe file, and I'm running the command:

system('exe-path');

The executable is running and prints in real time to the command window the data that I need, but I would like to save each line into a variable and perform my calculations.

Is there a way to manipulate the output of the system call in real time?

- I'm running Windows 10.

Thanks!

What do you mean exactly by real-time and how do you expect to achieve it on Windows? That aside, printing to the command line doesn't sound like the best way of transferring data to me. I would probably just do it all in MATLAB right from the off but if you must have a separate C++ program then define a better way of transferring output data in "real-time".
