Hi All,

Something told me that I should check out links with pipes and I tried this.

head myfile | links

and i get the same problem that i had mentioned with my script. for some reason links does not like a pipe being open when it is called. In my script, The pipe should be done (i.e. no more data to feed) before it calls links but still it does not like that. I feel if we could close the pipe explicitly then it might help. is there a way to close that pipe explicitly? I am not sure how to do this because the user could send in a file name too, if they don't then it defaults to STDIN/Pipes i.e. i am using the <> handle.

Thanks for your help!

cheers
