well, hmmmm. It handles pipes ok I guess (reads from STDIN), but it
doesnt echo back out the input that the script gives it. I guess I would
have to code a local echo into the thing, which the TA will look oddly
on. BTW, I hope this has nothing to do with it, but this is running on
some odd sparc I dont have a whole lot of experience with.

Desired behavior:

(58) gurtler@pegasus> ./test_case | ./04
                 Enter number: 5
5^2 is 25
(60) gurtler@pegasus>

Current behavior:

(58) gurtler@pegasus> ./test_case | ./04
                 Enter number:
5^2 is 25
(60) gurtler@pegasus>

Hey,

    Really basic item here. Is there any way to have a script interact
with the users shell directly and visibly? For example:

   (58) gurtler@pegasus> ./test_case
   (59) gurtler@pegasus> ./04
                Enter number: 5
    5^2 is 25
   (60) gurtler@pegasus>

    Where the test_case is a perl script or something, which just pipes
text ("./04\n5\n") to the user's shell. It is necessary for the
interaction to be visible. Any ideas? or am I damned to type these test
cases over and over? Thanks.

                - Fritz

Do you mean a script that just runs through a list of executables and
pipes the input directly to the executable from your script while allowing
the user to watch? Does your executable handle pipes okay?

ie: echo 5 | ./04

Fritz,

Are you looking to echo a question to the screen, and wait for user input? If
so, take a look at:

Good luck!
