I've added shell-out to clojure-contrib, with an 'sh' function that allows usage like:
user=> (use '[clojure.contrib.shell-out :only (sh)]) nil user=> (print (sh "ls" "-l")) total 1316 drwxrwxr-x 5 chouser chouser 4096 2008-12-16 11:32 classes drwxrwxr-x 3 chouser chouser 4096 2008-12-02 11:46 clj nil user=> (print (sh "sed" "s/[aeiou]/oo/g" :in "hello there\n")) hoolloo thooroo nil It also has options for choosing the character encoding or returning stdout and stderr as an array of bytes to deal with binary data. What it does not provide is any kind of asynchronous interaction -- no passing of IO streams to or from the function. I will certainly consider adding these if there's enough demand, but that kind of interaction significantly complicates the API. I'd rather serve 80% of use cases with a dead-simple API and let the other 20% deal with the Runtime and Process classes themselves. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
