Hello,
This used to work with pdftex:
\starttext
\input "\string|echo hello world"
\stoptext
What's the recommended way, to do this in mkiv?
I've defined \Pipe{} like this:
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
function userdata.pipe(c)
local h = io.popen(c)
context(h:read"*a")
h:close()
end
\stopluacode
\def\Pipe#1{\ctxlua{userdata.pipe"#1"}}
But I suppose that there is already a nice command in the core... ;)

Thanks!
No tex-command...?
(not important, \ctxlua{context(os.resultof"...")} is ok)

never needed it but there is
\cldcontext{os.resultof("...")}
if you want to save keystrokes
