Re: Non blocking read from the console

Also works (im)perfectly fine on Windows 11 with both the command prompt (CMD) and Powershell.

I decided to try running it in the most convoluted way I could think of and, as a subprocess of another app, I get the same message you reported. Are you running this in a way where the standard file handles are actually being piped to/from between a perl process and a pseudo-terminal?

Hi. My console input (I suppose) is what ever comes with the Eclipse IDE software and uses Stawberry Perl. Regards JC....	[reply]

Try running it from the command prompt, not in the IDE's fake terminal.	[reply]

Hi. Ta. It does work (in CMD mode). I had to add a "\n" to avoid the buffering of characters. Some console output follows (involving this change). `C:\u\Perl_Eclipse_IDE\OBD2_control> C:\u\Perl_Eclipse_IDE\OBD2_control>perl Note_02_NonBlockingSTDIN.pl start finish ...........Get key K C:\u\Perl_Eclipse_IDE\OBD2_control> C:\u\Perl_Eclipse_IDE\OBD2_control> C:\u\Perl_Eclipse_IDE\OBD2_control>perl Note_02_NonBlockingSTDIN.pl start finish . . . . . Get key N` [download] But I find it dis-appointing to lose the convenience of running from the IDE. Are there other IDEs that would accommodate ? Regards JC....	[reply] [d/l]
