Hi,
assume I have a program taking input from stdin. How do I call it from
Haskell while feeding to it a string as input.
Sure, have a look at
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/process/1.0.0.0/doc/html/System-Process.html#v:runInteractiveProcess
rnuInteractiveCommand does would you want
(in,out,err,pId) <- runInteractiveProcess "cat" ...
hPutStrLn "test" in
hClose in
outContents <- hGetContents out
print outContents
Beware. The above code is broken.
Whether it appears to work depends on your OS, buffering settings, and
the size of any underlying buffers.
Thanks for the warning. I needed it only for a small scripting task, and
it seems to work well enough. Actually, I am not even interested in the
output, so I just went for waitForProcess. This comes with additional
warnings in the docs, but I did not experience any problems in my
concrete setting so far.
Ciao, Janis.
