I am having a bit of trouble with NSTask() in Swift (for an OS X application). Can someone post a snippet of code in Swift that uses NSTask() correctly? Thank you!

Create a task…
let task = NSTask()
Select a path…
task.launchPath = "/usr/bin/say"
Pass any arguments to the command…
task.arguments = ["I'm Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate!"]
Launch the task, and block the current thread until it's done…
task.launch()
task.waitUntilExit()

do you have to have terminal open? – richbrz Jul 08 '15 at 22:36

No, you don't. Just copy and paste that code onto Playground and check the result. – Marco Almeida Dec 24 '15 at 17:11
