Hi Shot
When I've written command-line tools, I've done exactly this. Use
Dir.tmpdir to give you a working space to hold any input/output files,
and call it with Kernel#` to capture its STDOUT.
Doing it this way proves your binary command works, because RSpec (or
Cucumber, which may be more appropriate here) is doing nothing you
can't do in a shell yourself.
