Hi Alex-
Thanks, I did try
"/full/path/to/docsplit text --no-clean -l chi_sim
/path/to/1_long_gu/long_gu001.pdf" try-process
using both the symlink and the resolved executable:
/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/docsplit
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.1.0/bin/docsplit
but still no response, still status 0. A lightbulb went on, and I set a
duplicate symlink
in /usr/bin/docsplit (where Factor's which can find it) straight to
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.1.0/bin/docsplit:
IN: scratchpad "docsplit" which .
"/usr/bin/docsplit"
-ok, but still no success with anything in io.launcher. Oy!
I see on the web that this problem calling docsplit isn't confined to
Factor. Help calls appear
in Plone-Users<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29982797>
and
stackoverflow re
python<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18237442/execute-shell-commands-in-python-to-use-docsplit>.
Let me dig around some more; this sticky wicket
must have a workaround...
I'll dig around some more.
