How to get unix command output in skill

wenckey

I want to get some output like "which" for a script's real path in skill script.

My code:

scriptName = "abc.pl"

cid = ipcBeginProcess(strcat("which " scriptName))

realScript = ipcReadProcess(cid)

it can be done in CIW window step by step, but when I put it in a skill file, it will not return the script path.

    I should also mention that SKILL has various `which'-like commands that can be used without having to resort to ipcBeginProcess(strcat("which " scriptName)).  E.g.,

    simplifyFilename(
    t_name
    [ g_dontResolveLinks ]
    )
    => t_result

    Expands the name of a file to its full path.

    simplifyFilenameUnique(
    t_path
    )
    => t_fullPath / error message

    Returns the full path for the given t_path without links and
    a trailing slash / at the end of the result string. The function
    returns an error if the given t_path is incorrect.

    SKILL novices often reach for ipc* functions to perform simple tasks for which there are already builtin functions (e.g. ipcBeginProcess("whoami") instead of getLogin()).
