shell is fast, but it takes long to start it up. whenever you send a command, a new shell environment is created. for alternative solutions with running "outside" programs, i once proposed a "server" that communicates with Pd via pdsend/receive on this list. for appending lines to a file, you can use zexy's [fwriteln]. this doesn't solve your problem of grep/sed/awk though. gfma.dr IOhannes _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
