Sorry to bother the list once more...

Is it possible to use "redirection" when executing an UNIX-binary from a macro?

For example from OSX-Terminal I write

        MyMac:~ me$ theBinary --output=theFile.png < /pathTo/myData

with input file "/pathTo/myData".

 From an ImageJ macro

        exec( "theBinary", "--output=theFile.png", "<", "/pathTo/myData" );

doesn't do the trick.

Is there a way to redirect standard input to an input file with exec( )?

Best
