I've never known 'echo' to wait for input, and haven't heard of this echo & pub combination.�� Do you have some link to a tutorial showing how they are used?

However just wildly guessing, are you wanting to get output from a long running command without blocking the Pharo UI?
In that case, what about... ��
�� �� [��stringVar := (PipeableOSProcess ��command: 'echo...') output ] fork.��
?

Hello everyone.

I have the following question. I have a specific 'echo ...' command, which I send to the linux console via " OSProcess command:'echo ... ' ".��
This echo command, when executed on the native linux console, stands by until it receives some message.��
Following this, I have to execute a 'pub...' command, which gives some information that the echo command will print on screen. On linux, you run 'echo..' on a terminal and 'pub...' on another.
My objective here is to capture the output of echo into a smalltalk variable for later use.
Normally, if a console command prints something immediately to screen, I use��
(PipeableOSProcess command:'some command') output.

It is here a little different though, since this command will not print something immediately to screen. I want to do something like this, where the final output of 'echo..' stays in stringVar.

stringVar := (PipeableOSProcess ��command: 'echo...') output.��
(Delay forSeconds:3) wait.
(OSProcess command: 'pub... ').
(Delay forSeconds:3) wait.

Thank you all.
