I want to read user input and use it as an argument for a command. I got this code:
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print("Enter img path: ")
imgPath, _ := reader.ReadString('
')
args := []string{imgPath, "stdout", "-l spa+eng"}
out, err := exec.Command("tesseract", args...).Output()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(out))
}
But when I execute it it outputs an error saying exit status 1.
If instead of using the variable imgPath as an argument I write some text directly into the array it works like a charm.
The following code returns a line with the delimiter (I work on Windows and its EOL is ' '), something that wasn't shown when I printed it on the console.
reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
imgPath, _ := reader.ReadString('
')
In my case it ended up working after I trimmed ' ' from the input:
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print("Enter img path: ")
imgPath, _ := reader.ReadString('
')
imgPath= strings.TrimRight(line, "
")
args := []string{imgPath, "stdout", "-l spa+eng"}
out, err := exec.Command("tesseract", args...).Output()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(out))
}
