Example of run-process with redirection to pipe?

Example of run-process with redirection to pipe?

[Sudarshan S Chawathe]

I am probably missing something obvious but I cannot seem to figure out
how to use run-process with output redirected to a pipe.

Based on my reading of the manual, I have:

  (let ((p (run-process "echo Hello"
                        out-to: 'pipe)))
    (p:getInputStream))

but it give an error (full trace below) that I can't quite interpret:

  java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class gnu.expr.PrimProcedure can not
  access a member of class java.lang.UNIXProcess with modifiers "public"

I would be grateful if someone could point me to some code illustrating
the use of the pipe feature of run-process.

Hello. I am also new to kawa, and I don't know why it behaves the way it does (seems a java permissions thing to me), but you can get the InputStream using:

  (gnu.kawa.functions.RunProcess:getInputStreamFrom p)

I found this using "grep -r Stream" inside the Kawa/kawa/lib directory in the kawa source code, which I found to be a great learning resource.

Thank you very much for the hint; it indeed works when invoked as you
write.

[Per Bothner]

I checked in a fix for this - the original test program now works.
This was somewhat tricky because the actual runtime-class UNIXProcess is non-public,
so reflection has to use the method from the parent class Process.  Which lead to to messy
complication relating to "syntheic bridge" methods.  Hope I got it right ...

A further improvement would be to do the method lookup at compile-time.
