My original example,
find . -name '*.h' | yad --list --title "Search Results" --text "Finding all
header files.." --column "Files"
will work when passed to bash from rexx
#!/usr/bin/rexx
'find . -name "*.h"',
'|yad --list',
'--title "Search Results"',
'--text "Finding all header files.."',
'--column "Files"',
'|rxqueue'
do queued()
parse pull yad_result
say yad_result
end
exit rc
because the entire command is processed by bash. If I want to process the
results of the find command before passing them to yad
#!/usr/bin/rexx
'find . -name "*.h"',
'|rxqueue'
do l = 1 to queued()
parse pull line.l
-- do something to line.l
-- somehow (?) stack line. contents for yad
end
-- how does bash know that yad should read stacked input?
'yad --list',
'--title "Search Results" ',
'--text "Finding all header files.."',
'--column "Files"',
'|rxqueue' -- get yad results
do queued()
parse pull yad_result
say yad_result
end
exit rc
merely SAYing them will just write them to the console, as there appears to be
no way to tell bash to pipe them to yad.
