Yes, eventually.. The script traverses the current filesystem and for each real file executes a commmand using the 'system' call and builds a stream pipe to analyze the results. It can take quite some time for this to occur depending on the number of files to analyze. In this case I'm using it to build a tree of problem report objects for each file for a software release I'm working on (in C++) for my day job. Seemed much easier to do in GST than in Perl besides the fact that I'd learn stuff and keep my ST brain fresh! I'll see about adding some strace output if this continues to occur.. P.S. Is there a good way to do something akin to C's sscanf() stuff in Smalltalk. The stream classes don't (at first glance) appear to make breaking apart lines easy/efficient... TIA for any pointers you can recommend! _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
