How to parse the output string of a child process created by "CreateProcess"

I execute an .exe within my code. Like:

if( !CreateProcess( NULL,   // No module name (use command line)
    "sub.exe 2",    // Command line
    NULL,           // Process handle not inheritable
    NULL,           // Thread handle not inheritable
    FALSE,          // Set handle inheritance to FALSE
    0,              // No creation flags
    NULL,           // Use parent's environment block
    NULL,           // Use parent's starting directory 
    &si,            // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure
    &pi )           // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure
)

The sub.exe multiplies simply the given value with 3. So that I should get a 6

How do I get the responded string to work with in my further code?
