No need for nested with-temp-buffer calls and separate buffer variables. + Replaced (buffer-end -1) and (buffer-end 1) with (point-min) and (point-max) respectively for clarity. + Replaced (buffer-string) with t in call-process-region to discard the output buffer and avoid unnecessary memory allocation. + Removed unnecessary nil argument in call-process. + +These improvements make the code cleaner and more efficient. +I've expected a string return value of the whole progn expression, yet +what I've got was an insertion to this here buffer. +ChatGPT + +Apologies for the misunderstanding. If you would like the whole progn expression to return a string instead of inserting it into a buffer, you can use the with-output-to-string macro. Here's the updated code: + +lisp + +(defun kakafarm/call-process-with-string-as-input (program &optional input-string &rest args) + (with-output-to-string + (if input-string + (with-input-from-string input-string + (apply 'call-process-region program nil standard-output nil args)) + (apply 'call-process program nil standard-output nil args)))) + +(kakafarm/call-process-with-string-as-input "cat" "cat says moo") + +In this version, the with-output-to-string macro captures the output of the progn expression and returns it as a string. The standard-output stream is used as the output destination for the call-process-region or call-process functions, depending on whether an input string is provided. + +Please note that the (kakafarm/call-process-with-string-as-input "echo" nil "-n" "echo echo echo") part from your original code has been removed since it wasn't necessary for demonstrating the changes.
