Run unix executable file from Unity

Dear forum

I have a unix executable file that I need to run from Unity. I also need to pass it arguments. Is this possible?

You can use the .net class Process

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Process process = new Process();
3. process.StartInfo.FileName=command;
4. process.StartInfo.Arguments = arguments;           
5. process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError=true;
6. process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput=true;
7. process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow=true;
8. process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory=Application.dataPath+"/..";
9. process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute=false;
10. process.Start();
11.  

You can find details of the usage on msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process(VS.71).aspx

This doesn't work in the webplayer.

Bye, Lucas

 

Thanks Lucas, that is just what I needed.

Code (csharp):

1. function OnTriggerEnter  (other : Collider) {
2. Process note = new Process();
3. note.StartInfo.Arguments = Application.dataPath+"/test.txt";
4. note.Start(notepad.exe);
5. }

This just says a semicolon is missing for me.

This launches notepad, though:

Code (csharp):

1. function OnTriggerEnter  (other : Collider) {
2. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe");
3. }

 

I guess I am instantiating it incorrectly

 

You're trying to use C# syntax in Javascript.

Code (csharp):

1. var note = new Process();

How can I write a text file with the data from my game in Unity, and, after write the file, make Unity Open the Notepad.exe with the file? (Is something like a report system that I'll need to print, because this I want to work with notepad).


Can be Done in JavaScript or only in C#? Can you help me?
