Hey Guys,
I am having a problem getting NSTask to launch my shell script and output the results. I believe it is launching the script correctly, however I would like to acquire the output, error messages and perhaps even input... there are no errors about invalid launch-paths, so assume it is launching, I have implemented pipes and a dozen different ways to get this problem solved, but to no avail, so any input would be appreciated.
here are the basics of my model:
Firstly the script is essentially anything... I just want to get my scaffold working before I get too bogged down in scripting again... It is located in the resources folder called hello.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "hello"
exitNow for the fun part..
NSArray* Array = [[NSArray alloc] init];
Array = [NSBundle pathsForResourcesOfType:@"sh" inDirectory:[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];
NSLog(@"%@", Array);
NSString* scriptPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"hello" ofType:@"sh"];
NSLog(@"%@", scriptPath);
if(scriptPath){
NSArray* theArguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"/bin/sh", scriptPath, theName, nil];
NSTask* scriptTask = [[NSTask alloc] init];
NSPipe *pipe;
pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[scriptTask setStandardOutput: pipe];
[scriptTask setStandardError: pipe];
NSFileHandle *file;
file = [pipe fileHandleForReading];
[scriptTask setLaunchPath: [theArguments objectAtIndex:0]];
[scriptTask setArguments: [theArguments subarrayWithRange: NSMakeRange (1, ([theArguments count] - 1))]];
[scriptTask launch];
NSData *data;
data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];
NSString *string;
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog (@"got\n%@", string);
} else {
NSLog(@"That dosn't exist");
}again any help will be appreciated, I have been bashing my head against a wall for days...
cheers bjohnst8
