Subject: Run terminal command with output in current buffer
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2021 17:06:17 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ea-mime-60f1a069-6f30-760e3f5f@www-7.mailo.com> (raw)

I have done the following, which should work.



But  `shell-command` does not seem to run.  



--------



(defun runcom ()
  "docstring"

  (interactive) 

  ;; grep -hir --exclude=\*.el --include=\*.{org,texi} -C 8 "node-gnu-fdl" .

  (let ( cmd
     (cmd-excl (read-from-minibuffer "exclude: "))
         (cmd-incl (read-from-minibuffer "include: "))
     (cmd-cnum (read-from-minibuffer "cnum: "))
     (cmd-ptrn (read-from-minibuffer "pattern: "))
     (cmd-dpth (read-from-minibuffer "dpth: ")) )

    (setq cmd-excl (concat " --exclude=\\*." cmd-excl))
    (setq cmd-incl (concat " --include=\\*." cmd-incl))
    (setq cmd-cnum (concat " -C " cmd-cnum))

    (setq cmd (concat "grep -hir" cmd-excl cmd-incl
              cmd-cnum " " cmd-ptrn " " cmd-dpth))
    (message "%s" cmd)
    (shell-command cmd (current-buffer)) ))
