Re: Does Calabash p:exec not preserve newline characters?

Hi,

The following code preserves the newlines as a result of using
ProcessBuilder to call w3m and outputs a nicely formatted text file.

When I add this code into Calabash replacing the p.getInputStream() with the
inputstream "is" passed into
"ProcessOutputReader(InputStream is"  the newlines are then not preserved.

Norm.. any idea why the inputStream in calabash is not preserving newline in
p:exec?

Thanks Much



    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("w3m", " -dump", "-T",
"text/html", tmpfile.getAbsolutePath());

            Process p = pb.start();

            System.out.println("*******************");
            ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            int i = 0;
            while (true) {
                int LEN = 1024;
                byte b[] = new byte[LEN];

                System.out.println("Available: " +
p.getInputStream().available());
                int nbytes = p.getInputStream().read(b);

                outStream.write(b, 0, nbytes);
                if (nbytes < LEN) {
                    break; // done read
                }


            }

            //System.out.print(outStream.toString());   /* String has
newlines preserved */
            OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream
("/mnt/xslt_volume/i4ContentOutput/temp/out3.txt");
            outStream.writeTo(outputStream);
            outStream.close();
