How to capture run/pipeline output

New to Julia

As an example, the following code has 1 1 4 printed in the console. How do I capture that into a string variable?

run(pipeline(`echo 123`, `wc`))
2 
s = readlines(pipeline(`echo 123`, `wc`))

or

s = readstring(pipeline(`echo 123`, `wc`))

There’s yet another solution in the docs:

read(pipeline(`echo 123`, `wc`), String)

This is equivalent to the readstring example.

Cool! :slight_smile:

And you could read lines asynchronously too! :scream:

julia> import Dates
julia> r = eachline(```
       julia -e """
          for i in 1:3 
            sleep(1)
            println('*') 
          end"""
       ```);
julia> for i in r 
         println("$i $(Dates.now(Dates.UTC))")
       end;
