I run a simple grep command in my Cocoa application, for example:
NSTask *task;
task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath: @"/usr/bin/grep"];
NSArray *arguments;
arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"foo", @"bar.txt", nil];
[task setArguments: arguments];
NSPipe *pipe;
pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[task setStandardOutput: pipe];
NSFileHandle *file;
file = [pipe fileHandleForReading];
[task launch];
NSData *data;
data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];
NSString *string;
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog (@"grep returned:\n%@", string);
[string release];
[task release];
However, I am curious to know how commands entered through the terminal that do not produce output and are not executed promptly if something like Control+ cannot be run from this method C. Something like a launch java -jar server.jarwhere it continues to work until you exit the session. How do I do something like this when the session is not automatically terminated after running the command?
I just need to comment on the part in which he releases NSTask? Any suggestions would be nice!
