in reply to Re^4: redirect output from a command to another command
in thread redirect output from a command to another command

You were talking about my shell being broken. It is therefore OBVIOUS that I was talking about the shell code that started this thread and not your perl code, and it therefore has everything to do with the shell.

If you bothered to pay attention you will also have noticed that I didn't even respond to your post that had perl code in it.

    One of the solution (named pipes) proposed is portable, the other was the Perl code. So to which solution were you referring if you weren't responding to the post that had the Perl code?

    You were talking about my shell being broken.

    Yes, until you said the solution wasn't portable. It (the solution) has nothing to do with the shell.

      I suggest that you click the "in reply to" link on this post, and then on the page that takes you to, and so on. Then you will be enlightened.

        No solution was given in any ancestor to your post. I don't even know what you're disagreeing with. I humoured your games, but now it's time for you to be clear. Do you disagree with any of the following?

        • Your bash was incorrectly built.
        • Your bash being incorrectly built does not speak to the portability of the /dev/fd method.
        • The portability of the /dev/fd solution is not related to the portability of bash.
        • /dev/fd is not portable between OSs or even between systems with the same OS.
        • Named pipes are quite portable.

        If so, let's discuss that. If not, then we're off topic.
