Re: [OT] Issue with a Mac Shell script

You will need to put the disk into a Xojo variable:

theShell.Execute "diskutil list | grep 'RAM Disk' | awk '{print $6}'"
If theShell.ErrorCode =3D 0 Then
    ejectDevice =3D NthFieldB(ReplaceLineEndings(theShell.ReadAll, =
EndOfLine), EndOfLine, 1)
Else
    // the diskutil command failed
End If
theShell.Execute "diskutil eject " + ejectDevice
...
