Re: feeding stdin of executed command and store stdout in $var

in reply to feeding stdin of executed command and store stdout in $var

Hi gabrielsousa,

Like Corion, I'd strongly recommend using a Perl module like Net::FTP. If however for some reason you really need to talk to an external program, I can recommend IPC::Run, or perhaps Expect.

Hi gabrielsousa, how i send several commands with IPC::run ? IPC::Run's interface takes a little bit of getting used to, but have a look at the doc and example code of the pump() function. Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply]

`my @cmd=('lftp', '-u', "$user,$pass", '-e', "open", "$host"); my $h = start \@cmd, \$in, \$out, \$err, timeout( 10 ); $in .= "ls\n"; $in .= "ls\n"; pump $h; print $out; finish $h;` [download] do not work :( only print after the finish $h;	[reply] [d/l]
