Hi Arie, > please have a look. > I am still not very sure about the read STDIN until EOF.
Yes, the examples are a bit meaningless as they are now. > I created a small script, but when is EOF of STDIN really signalled??? Concerning stdinread: You need an (in NIL ..), because when the script runs, the *current* input channel is still the script itself (this is the nature of a Lisp interpreter). So if you write #!/usr/bin/picolisp /usr/lib/picolisp/lib.l (in NIL (println "Type a few lines and end with ctrl+d") (setq Var (in NIL (till NIL T))) (prinl Var) (println "Program is finished!") ) (bye) and then do $ { echo abc; echo def; } | ./stdinread "Type a few lines and end with ctrl+d" abc def "Program is finished!" Note that starting ./stdinread and then typing works but will not print any output, because ^D terminates the interpreter. The other examples are fine, aren't they? ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
