I am looking for an example of how to create a utility program in LC to process
a text file on Mac OS X and Windows 7.
I want to put it in a faceless processing stream perhaps with pipes or
redirection or options. Such as:
...
cat textfile1 | myLCprogram | more
...
or
...
myLCprogram < textfile1 > textfile2
...
or
...
myLCprogram -f textfile1 -o textfile2
...
I have read the dictionary about open process and open file but I don't know
how to save the LC program without triggering the ui.
What I need is an example of how myLCprogram is structured or wrapped in a
shell script that can be used as cli command.
Do I need to use -ui somewhere?
Do I save myLCprogram as an .app/.exe and run it in a shell like a cgi with
a shebang (#! livecode -ui)?
Does this only work with LiveCode Server?
I am a bit confused by it. A simple example would help tremendously.
Thanks in advance.
Bob
