3990 :: How to run a console/terminal command?

• Skaruts (orginal) [2018-06-28T00:51:23+02:00] view original

  Not as in running an executable, but running system commands, such as cls in the windows console or clear in the linux terminal. The equivalent to what in C would be system("cls"). How do I do that? I tried

      discard execProcess("cls")
  Run

  but it didn't work.

      test.nim(29)             cls
      osproc.nim(358)          execProcess
      osproc.nim(581)          startProcess
      oserr.nim(110)           raiseOSError
      Error: unhandled exception: The system cannot find the file specified.
  Run

  Use os.execShellCmd
