[CM] How to capture standard output of Linux command in s7

[Kjetil Matheussen]

Hi,

There might be a better solution, but this is the function I've been using
to do this:

(define (get-system-output command) (let ((logfilename "/tmp/logtemp")) (system
(string-append command " > " logfilename)) (let* ((ret "") (fd (open-file
logfilename "r")) (line (read-line fd))) (while (not (eof-object? line)) (
set! ret (string-append ret line)) (set! line (read-line fd))) (close
fd) (system
(string-append "rm " logfilename)) ret)))

(this is for guile though, not s7, but you get the idea)
