Re: [Gambas-user] EXEC vs. SHELL

[Mike Keehan]

Hi Rolf,

EXEC will run a single executable program.
SHELL can run a shell script, including pipes and redirection between 
two or more executables.

You could think of EXEC as the fundamental way to run another program, 
while SHELL is shorthand for EXEC /bin/bash parameters

 Could someone explain me why there are two different ways of executing 
 shell commands and how they differ in practice? I mean, when do I want 
 EXEC and when will I want SHELL? What's the idea behind them?

 Thanks for all hints :-)

 Rolf

Re: [Gambas-user] redirecting stdout/console output to a textbox

[Mike Keehan]

Kevin,

Look up the SHELL command in the help browser - it takes parameters 
for Read|Write or Input|Output which can do what you want.

And look at the Console example program which uses the EXEC and 
captures output.

 I'm using GAMBAS to control several daemons using the SHELL command, all
 of which output messages to the GAMBAS console. Is there a way to either
 grab the console output so that it can be placed in a textbox or similar
 control, or redirect it to such a control? I need the user to be able to
 see everything the daemons are doing via a form control representing an
 activity log.

 Hi all
 
 I have a problem with a code on gambas..
 
 I'm trying.. this code.. EXEC [rm, application.Path  /imagenes/*.*]
 ... just I wanna erase the content of images folder.
 
 But I got an error.. on console... rm: can't erase
 «/home/carlosh/Prueba/imagenes/*.*»: File don't exists
 
 Help Please.. what's wrong.. 
 

Hi Carlos,

Try using SHELL instead of EXEC.  The *.* expression gets expanded by 
the Shell not by individual programs like rm.

Mike.
