Proc: Subprocess management library for Ring

[Youssef Saeed]

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to share the release of Proc—a cross-platform subprocess library for Ring!

Proc makes it easy to spawn child processes, redirect I/O, and execute shell commands on Windows, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. It features both a simple functional API and a clean OOP interface.

Key Features:

• Cross-Platform: Consistent behavior across all major OSs.
• Full I/O Control: easily read/write to stdin, stdout, and stderr.
• Flexible API: Use high-level helpers like `proc_shell()` or the robust `Process` class.

Code Example:

load "proc.ring"

# 1. Simple Shell Command
? proc_shell("echo Hello World!")[2]

# 2. OOP Interface
shell = new Shell
if shell.success("git status")
    ? shell.capture("git log -1")
ok

Installation:

ringpm install proc from ysdragon

Best regards,

Hello Youssef,

Thank you for this useful library!

I tested all the samples in UsingProc folder. They all work except first section of sample 5:

it raises this error:

Note that git is installed and reachable in the system path.

The second example about python works fine.

All the best,

Mansour

Thank you for your report!

I have tested the samples in the UsingProc folder again on Windows. Everything is working perfectly on my end, so the issue might be related to your specific environment.

Best regards,
