Easy, hoss. You might click on a monk's name and see whom you are addressing before getting snarky.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    He could be friendlier. The question was in fact completely misunderstood.

      Thanks guys... yes, indeed, the question was completely misunderstood. After looking at it again this morning, I realized the OP was dealing with the CLI while the program was waiting for input.

      With the posted code, it appeared to me at the time they were actually trying to edit the file.

      Thankfully, AnonyMonk, roboticus and 1nickt did catch on to what the OP needed, and responded accordingly.

      Cheers,

    I have clicked on their name. I'm really not sure what your point is though. What is it about stevieb you wanted me to notice?

      How helpful he is.

        How can I tell how helpful he is from clicking on his username?

    Dude :) Examine what is said, not who speaks.
