Thanks for all your feedback. I've just uploaded a new version for mac
os x:
http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/shell/macosx/v02.sit
New in this mac version:
- no more external shell.bundle needed, just the xtra itself
- callback function _stdout for linewise retrieving of stdout. Usefull
for example for programms that give intermediary feedback (progress
status etc.) during their execution.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to separate the stout and stderr
streams on the mac (where the implementation is totally different from
the PC version).
But you can use the ">" operator to redirect the output:
- adding " 2>&1" to your command will redirect stderr to stdout and
return both to director (as function return value and as callback
value).
- adding " 2>&1 1>myfile" will redirect stderr to director and stdout to
file myfile.
For example. shell_cmd("curl -v myurl.com/myfile 2>&1 1>mypath/myfile")
will fetch a file with curl and show download status information at
stderr that is redirected to stdout so that you can catch it with the
_stdout callback.
