Linux SHELL cmd

[albert]

Hello;

I'm trying to convert me and Dodicat's Five Deck Maverick to FB Linux.

To get it to speak you need to download flite ( festival lite )

I'm having trouble with the shell command.

text = "you lost"

shell( "echo ""text"" | flite" ) ----doesn't work it says "text"
shell( "echo text | flite" ) ----doesn't work it says "text"

How do you pass a string to the shell ??

[D.J.Peters]

text is a string var so you have to concatenate it

shell( "echo " & text & " | flite")

var a = "hello"
var b = "world"
print a & " " & b
