nstask

Any body have idea about getting notification from NSTask while NSTask is executed. I am unzipping a zip file using NSTask and need to show the unzip data progress in a NSProgressBar. I don't found any idea for doing such task.So that i show the value in progress bar. Need help for doing this task. Thanks in advance. Use NSFileHandleReadCompletionNotification , NSTaskDidTerminateNotification notifications. task=[[NSTask alloc] init]; [task setLaunchPath:Path]; NSPipe *outputpipe=[[NSPipe alloc]init]; NSPipe *errorpipe=[[NSPipe alloc]init]; NSFileHandle *output,*error; [task setArguments:

Im trying to make an application which sends commands to GDB via NSTask and directs the output to the UITextView. It works well on the Mac (iOS Simulator). However, when deployed to the actual device (iPhone), it does not display any registers after the command "info registers" The code is as such : - (void)viewDidLoad { self.title = @"GDB"; NSLog(@"Pid for GDB execution is :%@", pid); UIBarButtonItem *btnClicked = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Commands" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(btnClicked:)]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = btnClicked

I'm working on an app that needs to use dd (I do this with a shell script in the app bundle, that collects parameters from the app itself, makes some checks and then launches dd). To make this operation I need to call dd with root, and I already looked at several solutions on StackOverflow. The simplest to implements seemed to me this one http://www.sveinbjorn.org/STPrivilegedTask Problem is that my NSTask makes some complex read/write operations (not present in STPrivilegedTask) and does not need to be all privileged. So I wrote a small helper tool in c that calls my script with correct

I am writing a Cocoa application which needs to execute a UNIX program and read its output, line by line, as they are produced. I set up a NSTask and NSPipe as such: task = [[NSTask alloc] init]; pipe = [NSPipe pipe]; [task setStandardOutput:pipe]; //... later ... [task setArguments:...]; [task setLaunchPath:@"..."]; [task launch]; handle = [[task fileHandleForReading] retain]; The command does not terminate until the program tells it to do so with [task terminate] . I have tried several methods of reading from the handle, such as -readInBackgroundAndNotify , while([(data = [handle

I want to use NSTask to simulate the Terminal to run commands. The codes as follows. It can get input in loop and return the process output. int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { while (1) { char str[80] = {0}; scanf("%s", str); NSString *cmdstr = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:str]; NSTask *task = [NSTask new]; [task setLaunchPath:@"/bin/sh"]; [task setArguments:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"-c", cmdstr, nil]]; NSPipe *pipe = [NSPipe pipe]; [task setStandardOutput:pipe]; [task launch]; NSData *data = [[pipe fileHandleForReading] readDataToEndOfFile]; [task waitUntilExit];

Can someone show a quick example on how to use NSTask and NSPipe in conjunction to do this: Charlie AI - run through terminal to comunicate with the AI I want to create a nice GUI for it using xcode and objective c. I want to have 2 NSTextFields for the charlie's response and user input. Then have a send button to send the user input to the command line, then get the charlie's response and post it in the NSTextField. I can handle the GUI stuff (NSTextField, ect.) But I need help with the objective-c coding part. Thanks! Elijah Apple have some nice sample code that shows how to do most of that.
