I’m trying to make a tiny OS X app that would start a bash

  • 0

I’m trying to make a tiny OS X app that would start a bash script on-demand and print its output in a text field, but not its result after its completion, its result while it runs.

It’ll be just a simple app with one start/stop button.

Any ideas of how I could do this?

Thanks a lot!

    Take a look at the answers on SO here or just read documentation for classes NSTask and NSPipe

    Just edited my answer to make it a little more clear:

    the idea is to add a notification (NSFileHandleDataAvailableNotification) on the NSFileHandle returned by the NSPipe method fileHandleForReading.

    Hope this helps =)
