I have misplaced my haskellwiki login right now, but... Under section 2: MissingH already provides a whole slew of forking/popen code; see http://software.complete.org/missingh/static/doc/System-Cmd-Utils.html In particular, you seem to be wanting my pipeBoth function. Note that your proposed String -> IO String function type is insufficient because it does not provide a way to evaluate the return value of the function. -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
