Maybe shell has a different home directory than lc?

For Linux users who have installed "single user", in their HOME
directory, the defaultfolder is their HOME directory.. Those who have
installed for all users, in /opt, will run into these kinds of issues,
at least sometimes, perhaps depending on what you're attempting to do
with shell(). The defaultfolder in an /opt install is
"/opt/runrev/" and 'put shell("find $PWD")' returns file not
found errors.

Re: [BUG][SHELL] Could Others Please Test This OS X/Linux
OK, I see now the relationship with the defaultFolder and I'll update
my bugzilla report to reflect this. But then why is this not the case
with Linux?
Richard suggested a note in the Dictionary and that seems to be
sensible. Currently the Dictionary suggests that if you are have
trouble with shell() then test it in Terminal and in this case it is
only confusing the matter. A further note hilighting the relationship
between the defaultFolder and certain shell commands would be useful.

Re: [BUG][SHELL] Could Others Please Test This OS X/Linux
$PWD should start at the current working directory, and that is not the same if
you run the command in the terminal or if you runit from your program. You will
(and should) get different answers. Even if you run in the IDE compared to a
standalone.
If you want the home catalog you can use $HOME or ~. If you still get different
answers it is of course a bug. Will test when I get to my computer.

Out of interest - are you setting the defaultFolder before running this? Try
running ‘put shell(“echo $PWD”)’ and make sure it is definitely running in your
user folder and not /Applications (on OSX, the defaultFolder is initially
/Applications).

openSUSE, LiveCode 6.6.2
Redirected the output to files. Results are identical, except for the
extra file created by running the initial 'find $PWD > pwdtest.txt'.
91,426 vs. 91,427.
Running:
put shell("find $PWD") into tStore
put the number of lines of tStore
is also the same except for the second file created in the previous step
and a couple of other files created by the system as it tracks recently
used applications and documents. (This output was also stored to a file
and all files were compared using a diff tool.)

Re: [BUG][SHELL] Could Others Please Test This OS X/Linux
Interesting.
OSX 10.7.5 Terminal: 100,168 lines
LC Community 6.1: 294,140
LC Community 7.0 dp5: 294,140
However a quick check of the LC results shows files from /Applications/
, not /Users/.
The Terminal results 'correctly' (I assumed) list files from /Users/.
Hope this helps

Obviously this is a big difference. If you want to check the actual

at this stage I only wish to confirm that the number of lines
(Folders/files) outputed is different.

Richard Gaskin reported a much smaller difference and in the opposite
