Is there a neat way to pipe input into shell commands from STDIN? The usual way I do it is to recreate everything as temporary files and then pass the file references - however it is both a hassle and can leave clutter around although I assume files stored in "the tempname" directory get cleared out properly on all platforms (anyone - I've not tested this cross-platform?).
For smaller inputs (one liners) - you can construct a shell command which pipes an echo command - like this: put "echo 'Hello world!' | commandLineThatTakesSTDIN" into someShell > put shell (someShell) > But is you have a lot of text in a variable, that you want to pipe to a shell command this is not going to work - hence the need to write out to a temporary file. I'm just wandering if there is a way to do something like set the contents of STDIN from LiveCode, then just enter the shell command, or if this could be some form of feature request? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
