Sending SKILL commands to a running instance of ICFB

gsimard

Hi all !

 

 I was wondering if it would be possible to send SKILL instructions to a running instance of ICFB, just as if I was typing them in the console of the ICFB, but from an external process. The idea is to use my favorite editor (emacs) and being able to interact with the ICFB process (sending code, retrieving replies, in the best scenario).

 

Thank you for any advice !

  • hi guillaume - it sounds like you've settled on a solution, but you might consider using dbAccess rather than icfb. to be honest it doesn't sound like it suits your needs - there are no graphics - but i thought it was worth mentioning just in case. it provides full skill/database access and starts much quicker than icfb. (we use it primarily to get technology library data to customize physical verification decks.) as for the IPC, if you're using perl then i recommend the IPC::Run module, which works great for bidirectional communication.
