hi, all !
what is the most recent and/or stable method to talk to the operation system (i.e. command line operations sended from PD to windows or linux) ?
so far i'm aware of 2 objects that do this:
[system] by the motex library [shell] by the ggee library
[system] is a bit mysterious as it seems to do things right, but doesn't really give a return result. [shell] on the other hand ouputs directly to his outlet only, so it is useable for "ls" commands etc.
both objects are very old and i just wanted to ask, if there's a little more "up to date" way to do this - probably with vanilla objects only.
best
