that's what I was after. It is a bit unintuitive but possible! > I don't have 'bcrypt' installed, but from the code I suspect that these > messages are sent to stderr. I see no easy way to suppress them (if > 'bcrypt' has no "silent" option), You are right, the prompts go to stderr. And it has no silent option. > except for redirecting stderr of the whole picoLisp process. Do you mean redirecting stderr of the main picolisp process at the start from shell or is there a way of redirecting forked child processes, maybe with some trick like (out '/dev/null (in 2 (echo)))? >> (unless (<= 8 (length (pipe (prin Salt) (line T))) 56) > This can simply be achieved by > (unless (<= 8 (length Salt) 56) > as 'length' already returns the desired value. This is true if Salt is always a symbol but the length is different for numbers and lists. I wanted to keep it general and use the newly learned pipe command;-) >> (let (F (pipe (call 'mktemp) (line T)) >> (let F (in '(mktemp) (line T)) Now I see:-) Thank a lot, Tomas -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
