Re: [chuck-users] system calls

Thanks, it was even easier than I thought. In case anybody is searching for this in the mailist archives, here's the solution: ----- // lilypond preamble std.system("echo { > foo.ly"); // actual music //std.system("echo c'4 d' e' fis'8 e' >> foo.ly"); std.system("echo c\'4 d\' e\' fis\'8 e\' >> foo.ly"); // lilypond postamble std.system("echo } >> foo.ly"); std.system("lilypond foo.ly"); std.system("open foo.pdf"); ---- I'm going to wait until chuck has better string handling before doing more -- I'd really like to have string appending, for example. "echo " + notes + " >> foo.ly" => message; std.system(message); But I know that this is on the feature list. :) Cheers, - Graham
