I would like to call a subprocess, and that subprocess has some interactive behavior. Thus, I would emacs to parse the output of the subprocess, ask the user for input, and then hand that input back to the subprocess.

  • Sounds like you want to use something with `set-process-sentinel`, `start-process`, `set-process-filter`, ... See the manual for those functions and also Google for examples. Essentially, the process filter can look for a known string or strings and then offer the user the ability to interact within predefined parameters .... Here is an `rsync` example of mine where I look for the password prompt using the process filter with predefined regex and then programmatically send the password with `process-send-string` to continue the subprocess: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/5844/2287 – lawlist Sep 24 '19 at 17:43
  • Thanks, this is just what I was looking for. Example is very helpful. – quackrabbit Sep 24 '19 at 21:20
