How to send a terminal command from Processing in mac?

dattasaurabh82

for example: there is a terminal command like : openssl base64 -in /Users/saurabh.datta/Documents/Processing/sketches/tinderBot_101/application.macosx64/infoImage.jpg -out /Users/saurabh.datta/Documents/Processing/sketches/tinderBot_101/application.macosx64/encodedB64.txt How can I invoke this command from within Processing? All the threads I've checked doesn't work:

Using the runtime, you can call commands:

String term = "openssl base64 -in /Users/saurabh.datta/Documents/Processing/sketches/tinderBot_101/application.macosx64/infoImage.jpg -out /Users/saurabh.datta/Documents/Processing/sketches/tinderBot_101/application.macosx64/encodedB64.txt";

try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(term);
} catch (Exception e){}

hope this helps! ak
