(defn cmdresult [cmdstr] (let [args (into [] (seq (.split cmdstr " ")))] (BufferedReader. (InputStreamReader. (. (. (. Runtime (getRuntime)) (exec args)) (getInputStream))))))
(defn readLine [cmdresult] (. cmdresult (readLine))) (def a (cmdresult "ls *.o")) This fails claiming: No matching method found: exec for class java.lang.Runtime If I replace the Runtime line with: (. (. (. Runtime (getRuntime)) (exec "ls")) (getInputStream)))))) it works and gives me the result of the "ls" system call. If I replace the Runtime line with (. (. (. Runtime (getRuntime)) (exec "ls *.o")) (getInputStream)))))) it fails even though it has a string argument. Suggestions?
