OK, here's a dumb question. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to call a unix command from within a running Cocoa application ? (in my case flex and bison) ? And if so, what's the secret ? For some reason there doesn't seem to be any documentation or examples available on this topic unless I'm missing something which is entirely possible..


NSTask is what you're missing... loads of docs and examples.

Apple's Moriarity example implements this
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Cocoa/Moriarity.htm

OpenUp does this in it's source code
http://softrak.stepwise.com/display?pkg=790&os=20


(shameless plug.. it's also covered in our book "Cocoa Programming" (www.cocoaprogramming.net).. )
