Question

  1. I created a Cocoa Mac OSX application in XCode
  2. Added a Button to the view
  3. While running the application, if i click the Button
  4. A terminal command for example "ffprobe abcd.avi" should be called and the results should be passedback to the cocoa application

Is that possible?

Was it helpful?

Use NSTask. You can find some simple examples of using it here: http://borkware.com/quickies/one?topic=nstask
