Re^3: cmd.exe piping stress

C:/> perl unit2summary.pl < dmp4.piped

Can I take it from the prompt shown in your command line that you are using some other shell than cmd.exe?

If so, try your commands with cmd.exe. I can't see any difference in the behaviour here:

C:\test>perl -pe1 junk.dat | perl unit2summary.pl
PASSED: mc creation
FAILED: mc attr

TESTS: 2   PASSED: 1 (50%)  FAILED: 1 (50%)

C:\test>perl unit2summary.pl <junk.dat
PASSED: mc creation
FAILED: mc attr

TESTS: 2   PASSED: 1 (50%)  FAILED: 1 (50%)

I use both cygwin and cmd.exe. In both situations I get the same results. I notice now that under cmd.exe it is finding the cygwin perl first in the path. Maybe it is the cygwin perl causing trouble. I'm reinstalling ActiveState and will put that first in my path, and see what that does. -Andrew. Andrew Tomazos \| andrew@tomazos.com \| www.tomazos.com	[reply]
