Hi Felix,
no way to get the output directly, because Basic would need to handle
pipes then.
It is under consideration whether UNO should be extended to give
support for standard IO, see #i53061#.
Workaround is either such glue stuff like you presented or to use
another (UNO-supported) language,
I'd like to execute an external program (under LINUX) from within a Basic
script, and I would like to obtain it's stdout, stderr and it's return value.
I know that I could do it for example as follows (untested):
1. Shell( _
/bin/bash -c 'some_program /tmp/out 21; echo $? /tmp/retval')
2.
