在 Ruby 脚本中运行命令行命令

有没有通过 Ruby 运行命令行命令的方法?我正在尝试创建一个小的 Ruby 程序,它可以通过命令行程序拨出和接收/发送,比如“ screen”、“ rcsz”等等。

如果我能把这些都和 Ruby (MySQL 后端等)结合起来就太好了

There's a few ways to run system commands in Ruby.

irb(main):003:0> `date /t` # surround with backticks
=> "Thu 07/01/2010 \n"
irb(main):004:0> system("date /t") # system command (returns true/false)
Thu 07/01/2010
=> true
irb(main):005:0> %x{date /t} # %x{} wrapper
=> "Thu 07/01/2010 \n"

But if you need to actually perform input and output with the command's stdin/stdout, you'll probably want to look at the IO::popen method, which specifically offers that facility.

Yes. There are several ways:


a. Use %x or '`':

%x(echo hi) #=> "hi\n"
%x(echo hi >&2) #=> "" (prints 'hi' to stderr)


`echo hi` #=> "hi\n"
`echo hi >&2` #=> "" (prints 'hi' to stderr)

These methods will return the stdout, and redirect stderr to the program's.


b. Use system:

system 'echo hi' #=> true (prints 'hi')
system 'echo hi >&2' #=> true (prints 'hi' to stderr)
system 'exit 1' #=> nil

This method returns true if the command was successful. It redirects all output to the program's.


c. Use exec:

fork { exec 'sleep 60' } # you see a new process in top, "sleep", but no extra ruby process.
exec 'echo hi' # prints 'hi'
# the code will never get here.

That replaces the current process with the one created by the command.


d. (ruby 1.9) use spawn:

spawn 'sleep 1; echo one' #=> 430
spawn 'echo two' #=> 431
sleep 2
# This program will print "two\none".

This method does not wait for the process to exit and returns the PID.


e. Use IO.popen:

io = IO.popen 'cat', 'r+'
$stdout = io
puts 'hi'
$stdout = IO.new 0
p io.read(1)
io.close
# prints '"h"'.

This method will return an IO object that reperesents the new processes' input/output. It is also currently the only way I know of to give the program input.


f. Use Open3 (on 1.9.2 and later)

require 'open3'


stdout,stderr,status = Open3.capture3(some_command)
STDERR.puts stderr
if status.successful?
puts stdout
else
STDERR.puts "OH NO!"
end

Open3 has several other functions for getting explicit access to the two output streams. It's similar to popen, but gives you access to stderr.

Yes this is certainly doable but the method of implementation differs dependant on whether the "command line" program in question operates in "Full screen" or command line mode. Programs written for the command line tend to read STDIN and write to STDOUT. These can be called directly within Ruby using the standard backticks methods and/or system/exec calls.

If the program operates in "Full Screen" mode like screen or vi then the approach has to be different. For programs like this you should look for a Ruby implementation of the "expect" library. This will allow you to script what you expect to see on screen and what to send when you see those particular strings appear on screen.

This is unlikely to be the best approach and you should probably look at what you are trying to achieve and find the relevant library/gem to do that rather than trying to automate an existing full screen application. As an example "Need assistance with serial port communications in Ruby" deals with Serial Port communications, a pre-cursor to dialing if that is what you want to achieve using the specific programs you mentioned.

 folder = "/"
list_all_files = "ls -al #{folder}"
output = `#{list_all_files}`
puts output

The Most Used method is Using Open3 here is my code edited version of the above code with some corrections:

require 'open3'
puts"Enter the command for execution"
some_command=gets
stdout,stderr,status = Open3.capture3(some_command)
STDERR.puts stderr
if status.success?
puts stdout
else
STDERR.puts "ERRRR"
end
