Re^2: How to give an EOF from windows Standard input?

hey i got the issue i was giving Ctrl+Z then followed by some other commands. may be that caused the problem..now it works fine .. Also when i tried to run the perl script not from the command prompt directly from the perl for ex: the code #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w @lines= <STDIN>; print "@lines"; print"This is new \n"; i saved it as input.pl and when i clicked on that from the folder the prompt window was shown i was able to give the inputs and when i pressed Ctrl+Z the window was closed without showing the "This is new" text. How can i make my prompt window stay.

Please use `<code></code>` tags around code in your posts. The console window will close as soon as the script ends. If you want the window to stay a round for a few seconds, add a sleep before it terminates: `#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w @lines= <STDIN>; print "@lines"; print"This is new \n"; sleep 60;` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Depends whether you want the console window, which is what is generated for perl, or a cmd.exe shell. If it is a cmd.exe shell you want then run your perl script from a short-cut or association with: `%comspec% /k perl c:\gash.pl` [download] where `c:\gash.pl` is the path to the script. It will run the script then give you a prompt.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
