Dear all,
I'm trying to execute a system command using g_spawn_command_line_sync.
When the system command contains no pipes all is well. However, when the
command contains pipes, for example:
g_spawn_command_line_sync("xwininfo -tree -root | grep \"Mesh Viewer
\"",&standard_out,&standard_err,&exit_stat,&error);
everything falls to pieces and the command isn't interpreted properly
(the output I get on stderr is "usage: xwininfo [-options ...]\n\nwhere
options include:\n -help", ' ' <repeats 16 times>, "print this
message\n -display host:dpy X server to contact\n -root", ' '
<repeats 16 times>, "use the root window\n -id wi"..."
Can anyone help? Am I using g_spawn_command_line_sync the wrong way? Is
it not intended to work with pipes?
Thanks, Tim
