Tha’ts not right:
From the message box,
put shell("pwd")
Yields
/Applications/LiveCode Business 9.5.0 (dp 1).app

There is a note on open process in the Dictionary that says that on OS X
systems you can start an application but not a Unix process, so I suppose the
LiveCode app intermediary must be needed. However, I have a vague memory of
running a CLI program from open process, but I don't remember how. I

Attempting to debug an ugly memory problem on a remote machine, I've installed
pslist.exe, one of the SysInternals tools, and want my LiveCode script to
invoke it via "shell" at various intervals to get some data about memory usage.
Initially I just dropped pslist.exe into the same folder as my
Both commands give the same.

Hi I've had a strange problem with using the shell command. everything
works as normal:
put shell ("ls -la")
But I have a shell command which works on the command line but not with
using the LiveCode shell command. So:
ipfs version
Works fine and returns:
ipfs version 0.3.2
Note the syntax is
That's it!
Also I needed to concatenate the commands to get the application to launch.

replace space with "\ " in IT
put shell("ls " & IT)

Hi Mark
You are quite correct - I just failed to read the dictionary entry

Hi Ian,
Why do you want to use the shell? There is a launch command, which lets you
launch a document with an application:
launch "path/to/document.xls" with "path/to/application"

I have a stack which produces a set of tables which I want to export to

What I would like:
User clicks a button in LC and excel opens with the tables in place.
What I have:
User clicks a button, saves the file to disc, double clicks the file on
disc which opens in Excel
I can get the

Andrew,
This is a quick email typed on a phone on an aiport so forgive me for not
going to deep.
Basically : don't do it!
The dangers are too big. You should avoid using shell() with anything that
comes from user input.
If the user chooses a username such as:

Here is another thing I am wondering about this evening.
I am curious as to how much power the Shell() function in an On-Rev
configuration is. I'd like to create mySQL databases & users on the fly.
I know the shell() function can run commands for you, but do you think I
will be able to create mys

Yes, the Docs mention this:
"The command is executed in the current defaultFolder"
and this actually means:
Before using shell with a command line application
you must set the default folder to the folder where

Hi all,
I have been trying, without sucess, to run
the program CRC32.EXE using Shell
from LiveCode.
This is the code that I am using:
put "C:\crc32.exe CRC32INPUT >CRC32OUTPUT.txt" into tCommand
set the hideconsolewindows to true
get shell (tCommand)
get URL "file:C:\CRC32O

There's a couple of things in version control systems - command line

I'd like to use the shell to open LiveCode and pass it a value that can be
handled by a Script - I used to do this with MetaCard on Linux - is this
possible cross platform with LiveCode?
