Re: widget.system Function



I had the same problem in my widgets that copy text to the pasteboard until someone turned me on to the -n flag. It works for echo, probably works for which.

Cheers,

Ok. I am working on developing a widget which executes the following command

var commandLoc = widget.system("/usr/bin/which " +
someUnixCommand,null).outputstring //The someUnixCommand is a variable
set earlier in the script

My problem is this; The string returned from this command contains the
end of line character "\n" which completely messes up the string when
I try to execute the commandLoc string in a different instance of the
widget.system call.

Is there a way in JavaScript to evaluate this string and remove the
"/n" from the string returned in the widget.system call? I am sure
that there is some way to do it but I just cannot think of it off the
top of my head!

Thanks in advance.
