Groovy Process Piping: Follow-up

Thanks to some comments from those a bit more savvy on this topic I'm suggesting the following method from charlesanderson:

p=['sh','-c','ls -l | sort'].execute()
println p.text

This is mostly cross-platform (assuming CygWin) and is nicely succinct.

I like this method over using the Groovy Groosh module as suggested by Yuri Schimke if only because it doesn't require an import:

def f = gsh.find('.', '-name', '*.java', '-ls');
f.pipeTo(lines);

As always there are many ways to skin the same cat.
