[...] Is it true that TextMate.system(task) (in the HTML output window) don't retrieve the entire data coming from the task? Or in other words; is there a limit of 8kB?

There _was_ a bug that would cause it to not get more than the first 8 KB (page size) or some such. But it should have been fixed.

Hmm. Very weird.

I have the following JS/HTML code and it runs in the HTML output pane of TM:

function foo() { var cmd = 'cat "$HOME/afile"' myCommand = TextMate.system(cmd, function (task) { }); myCommand.onreadoutput = output; }

function output (str) { document.getElementById("main").innerHTML = "<pre><span style='font- size:9pt'>" + str + "</span></pre>"; }

If I execute foo() (I press a button to invoke foo) I only see some of the end of "$HOME/afile" !AND! the output's size depends on the total size of "$HOME/afile".

Is there something wrong with my code? I cannot see the point.

## Appendix

Example 1:

if "$HOME/afile" contains:

1 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 2 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 3 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ... 1998 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

I only see:

jklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1991 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1992 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1993 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1994 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1995 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1996 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1997 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1998 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Example 2:

if "$HOME/afile" contains:

1 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 2 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 3 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ... 1880 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

I only see:

ijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1874 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1875 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1876 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1877 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1878 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1879 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1880 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Example 3:

if "$HOME/afile" contains:

1 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 2 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 3 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ... 1809 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

I only see:

The output function is called when there is output, so it will be called multiple times (at least FILE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE (8 KB) times) -- since your function overwrites the existing innerHTML, you will only see the result of the last call.

Ah, I see. With an accumulator it works, like

function output (str) { outvar += str; document.getElementById("main").innerHTML = outvar; }

Thanks so much for the prompt help!
