Calling Cli programs

Hi easy question, but google isn't seeming to give me the right search results for this. What do I need to read up on when trying to run an external cli program from within smalltalk.

For example I wanted to take a file and pass it to X264 on the command line.

Command Such as;

x264 [options] -o outfile infile [widthxheight]

Hi,

You can use OSProcess alone or through CommandShell (built on the top of OSProcess) to execute command lines.

Search in the mailing list archive to find help on these packages.

Hope this help,
