Objective-C (Swift见下文)

清理顶部答案中的代码，使其更具可读性，减少冗余，增加单行方法的好处，并使其成为NSString类别

@interface NSString (ShellExecution)
- (NSString*)runAsCommand;
@end

实现:

@implementation NSString (ShellExecution)

- (NSString*)runAsCommand {
    NSPipe* pipe = [NSPipe pipe];

    NSTask* task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
    [task setLaunchPath: @"/bin/sh"];
    [task setArguments:@[@"-c", [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", self]]];
    [task setStandardOutput:pipe];

    NSFileHandle* file = [pipe fileHandleForReading];
    [task launch];

    return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:[file readDataToEndOfFile] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

@end

用法:

NSString* output = [@"echo hello" runAsCommand];

如果你在输出编码方面有问题:

// Had problems with `lsof` output and Japanese-named files, this fixed it
NSString* output = [@"export LANG=en_US.UTF-8;echo hello" runAsCommand];

希望它对你和未来的我一样有用。(嗨,你!)

下面是一个使用管道、进程和字符串的Swift示例

extension String {
    func run() -> String? {
        let pipe = Pipe()
        let process = Process()
        process.launchPath = "/bin/sh"
        process.arguments = ["-c", self]
        process.standardOutput = pipe

        let fileHandle = pipe.fileHandleForReading
        process.launch()

        return String(data: fileHandle.readDataToEndOfFile(), encoding: .utf8)
    }
}

用法:

let output = "echo hello".run()

下面是如何在Swift中做到这一点

Swift 3.0的变化: nspape已被重命名为Pipe NSTask已重命名为Process

这是基于inkit的Objective-C答案上面。他把它写成NSString -的category 对于Swift来说，它成为了String的扩展。

extension String. runascommand() ->字符串

extension String {
    func runAsCommand() -> String {
        let pipe = Pipe()
        let task = Process()
        task.launchPath = "/bin/sh"
        task.arguments = ["-c", String(format:"%@", self)]
        task.standardOutput = pipe
        let file = pipe.fileHandleForReading
        task.launch()
        if let result = NSString(data: file.readDataToEndOfFile(), encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) {
            return result as String
        }
        else {
            return "--- Error running command - Unable to initialize string from file data ---"
        }
    }
}

用法:

let input = "echo hello"
let output = input.runAsCommand()
print(output)                        // prints "hello"

或者是:

print("echo hello".runAsCommand())   // prints "hello" 

例子:

@IBAction func toggleFinderShowAllFiles(_ sender: AnyObject) {

    var newSetting = ""
    let readDefaultsCommand = "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles"

    let oldSetting = readDefaultsCommand.runAsCommand()

    // Note: the Command results are terminated with a newline character

    if (oldSetting == "0\n") { newSetting = "1" }
    else { newSetting = "0" }

    let writeDefaultsCommand = "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles \(newSetting) ; killall Finder"

    _ = writeDefaultsCommand.runAsCommand()

}

注意从Pipe中读取的Process结果是一个NSString对象。它可能是一个错误字符串，也可能是一个空字符串，但它应该总是一个NSString。

因此，只要它不是nil，结果就可以转换为Swift String并返回。

如果由于某种原因，没有NSString可以从文件数据初始化，该函数返回一个错误消息。函数可以被写成返回一个可选的String?，但这将是尴尬的使用，也不会起到有用的作用，因为这种情况不太可能发生。

肯特的文章给了我一个新想法。这个runCommand方法不需要脚本文件，只需要用一行来运行命令:

- (NSString *)runCommand:(NSString *)commandToRun
{
    NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
    [task setLaunchPath:@"/bin/sh"];

    NSArray *arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                          @"-c" ,
                          [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", commandToRun],
                          nil];
    NSLog(@"run command:%@", commandToRun);
    [task setArguments:arguments];

    NSPipe *pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
    [task setStandardOutput:pipe];

    NSFileHandle *file = [pipe fileHandleForReading];

    [task launch];

    NSData *data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];

    NSString *output = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    return output;
}

你可以这样使用这个方法:

NSString *output = runCommand(@"ps -A | grep mysql");

in the spirit of sharing... this is a method I use frequently to run shell scripts. you can add a script to your product bundle (in the copy phase of the build) and then have the script be read and run at runtime. note: this code looks for the script in the privateFrameworks sub-path. warning: this could be a security risk for deployed products, but for our in-house development it is an easy way to customize simple things (like which host to rsync to...) without re-compiling the application, but just editing the shell script in the bundle.

//------------------------------------------------------
-(void) runScript:(NSString*)scriptName
{
    NSTask *task;
    task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
    [task setLaunchPath: @"/bin/sh"];

    NSArray *arguments;
    NSString* newpath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",[[NSBundle mainBundle] privateFrameworksPath], scriptName];
    NSLog(@"shell script path: %@",newpath);
    arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:newpath, nil];
    [task setArguments: arguments];

    NSPipe *pipe;
    pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
    [task setStandardOutput: pipe];

    NSFileHandle *file;
    file = [pipe fileHandleForReading];

    [task launch];

    NSData *data;
    data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];

    NSString *string;
    string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog (@"script returned:\n%@", string);    
}
//------------------------------------------------------

编辑:包括修复NSLog问题

如果你正在使用NSTask通过bash运行命令行实用程序，那么你需要包括这条神奇的行来保持NSLog工作:

//The magic line that keeps your log where it belongs
[task setStandardInput:[NSPipe pipe]];

时代背景:

NSPipe *pipe;
pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[task setStandardOutput: pipe];
//The magic line that keeps your log where it belongs
[task setStandardInput:[NSPipe pipe]];

还有一个很好的老式POSIX系统("echo -en '\007'");

fork, exec和wait应该有用，如果你不是在寻找Objective-C特定的方法。Fork创建当前运行程序的副本，exec用一个新程序替换当前运行的程序，然后wait等待子进程退出。例如(没有任何错误检查):

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

pid_t p = fork();
if (p == 0) {
    /* fork returns 0 in the child process. */
    execl("/other/program/to/run", "/other/program/to/run", "foo", NULL);
} else {
    /* fork returns the child's PID in the parent. */
    int status;
    wait(&status);
    /* The child has exited, and status contains the way it exited. */
}

/* The child has run and exited by the time execution gets to here. */

还有一个系统，它运行命令，就像您从shell的命令行输入命令一样。这样更简单，但你对情况的控制力更弱。

我假设你正在使用一个Mac应用程序，所以这些链接指向苹果关于这些函数的文档，但它们都是POSIX，所以你应该在任何POSIX兼容的系统上使用它们。
