So, you want to see the output as it happens, and the program doesn't need the output, it only needs the error code?
my $proc = run 'ls'; say $proc.exitcode ?? 'error' !! 'good' ; I got that from the examples on https://docs.perl6.org/type/Proc#sub_run - even if documentation usually leaves you cold, that page has samples which look simple and useful. -y On Mon, Nov 25, 2019 at 6:46 AM ToddAndMargo via perl6-users < perl6-us...@perl.org> wrote: > Hi All, > > In Perl6 for Windows, how can I get "qx" (or other) to > send the output to the shell as its happens (not > afterwards)? > > >ver > Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] > > >perl6 -e "qx ( ver );" > <nothing> > > > (One of) my goal(s) is to watch "chkdsk" on the shell > as it runs through its various stages. > > I might want the error code back. > > Many thanks, > -T > > > -- > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > A computer without Microsoft is like > a chocolate cake without the mustard > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >
