Hi!
I'd like to suggest an improvment to the "system" call in Euphoria.
It's very nice to use EUPHORIA as a batch super-processor, but is not =
trivial to catch the standard output.
Some of the OS commands (i.e. date) have an alternate command inside EU. =
But user programs have to pass the output via a disk file.
It would be very nice if we could write something like:
myOutput =3D system("Myprog")
where myOutput would be a sequence with the stdout of the called =
program.
So we could write something like
MyEnv =3D system("set")
and find out the names of all defined variables in the environment... I =
can think of many uses.
Jesus.
