Code:
@implementation TestApp

- (IBAction)something :(id)sender
{
test = [[NSTask alloc] init];

[test setLaunchPath:@"/test"];
[test launch];
}
@end

Now, all I want to do is put what [test launch] returns into a text box. I see the result in the "Run" tab. I don't know how to make it work with a text box.

Let's assume my text box is named "textBox"

I've tried adding the code: [textBox setStringValue:[test launch]; but that doesn't work. I've also tried adding a text string, called "textstring" and I did something like this (added the code in bold to the code above):

Code:
@implementation TestApp

- (IBAction)something :(id)sender
{
test = [[NSTask alloc] init];

[test setLaunchPath:@"/test"];
[test setStandardOutput:textstring];

[test launch];
[textBox setStringValue:teststring];
}
@end

This doesn't work.

Any help?

See NSPipe.

If you'll notice, I have another thread asking about how to use NSPipe...

How about you show me how to use it. I am having a hell of a time trying to get it working by reading about it.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude...

Real life can really get in the way sometimes. I had about 3 seconds to post when I thought I'd have 10 minutes. And since then I haven't really been able to get back on here. I had planned on a more detailed post 'cause I fumbled through using NSTask/NSPipe too. So, anyway, the best I could come up with was what I posted.

Maybe I should've said, "man popen" and "man system"? Those can be really useful when you don't need everything NSTask offers. Also, when in doubt, search Omni's MacOSX-dev list.

Glad you got what you needed, anyway!
