I normally use shell to call shellscripts. This way you can get rid
of Pd's parsing problem and actually implement what you want to do in
a scripting language of your choice.
At the same time you can get rid of unwanted output from the commands
that you call.

The default directory of shell is the directory where you started pd.
(Not the directory of the patch ... which is a bit ugly).
