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) -- Peter ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
