Using OSProcess

I must be missing something obvious, but how can I get the results of executing an external command.

OSProcess command: 'ls /etc'

It may be possible, but the standard advice is to use CommandShell's PipeableOSProcess.

Nabble has a great searchable archive of the mailing lists.  Searching for "command line output" produced http://forum.world.st/OSProcess-return-value-from-command-td68289.html, which has the specifics of what you want.

Try:

| pc1 |

    pc1 := (PipeableOSProcess command: 'ls -l' ) output.

    Transcript show: pc1.

returns me an ExternalUnixProcess. I just want a string of the command results. This seems to basic to be hard, but I'm stumped. In VisualWorks and GemStone this is just a one liner.

Thanks,
