Why not then leave the stderr out of the output, and just print it to stderr? It's the standard location to send error output, and I'd hate to lose it.
Ok, so here's the new proposal:
readProcess :: FilePath -- ^ command to run -> [String] -- ^ any arguments -> String -- ^ standard input -> IO String -- ^ stdout only (stderr is inherited)
readProcessWithExitCode :: FilePath -- ^ command to run -> [String] -- ^ any arguments -> String -- ^ standard input -> IO (ExitCode,String) -- ^ exitcode, and stdout + stderr
Looks good to me! I imagine (hope?) readProcess will see more use than readProcessWithExitCode, since it's simpler and easier to use. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
