Is it possible to run Smalltalk scripts from the command line? -


I found one (possibly old and false), which claimed that it was impossible to run a small sample script from the command line. Something has changed since then, and is it possible to run a small-scale script from the command line? I have done a lot of Google searches, and I have not got any information about this topic at all.

Is there a way to save a Smalltalk script (such as this one) as a file, and then run the script from the command line?

  Transcript shows: 'It should be printed on standard output.' PrintString; Million    

Gentle command line support and a simple script to install it:

  curl get.pharo.org | Bash ./pharo Pharo.image --help ./pharo Pharo.image eval "1 + 2"   

We use these tools on our regular basis.

The new command line handle can be easily installed by sub-closing. You will get a partial document.

has more complex interfaces and supports complex parameter parsing. The default command line to be sent with Pharo follows rather a simplified approach and you have to manually examine and process the parameters.
