[REBOL] Re: Core and stdin

Can't you download the GNU utilities for windows and use them instead??? I
haven't tried it myself but I do know that there are unix commands
available thru GNU utilities. I have them on my pc and they work very
similarly to the unix commands as far as I know. So you might try
downloading them and see if they work the way you want to.

Hi,
actually, pipe can be used for redirecting REBOL input and output in
Windows. The problem is that Windows does not have the cat command,
and few other commands support input from stdin. You can try this in
Windows command prompt in all Windows versions:
C:\REBOL\test>rebol -wq --do "print {Hello World} quit" | more
Hello World
or this in Windows NT and 2000:
C:\REBOL\test>rebol -wq --do "print {Hello World} quit" | findstr .
Hello World
What surprised me, piping input into REBOL works as well, if output
is also redirected:
C:\REBOL\test>echo "Hello REBOL" | rebol -wq --do "print [ {from stdin:}
input ] quit" | more
from stdin: "Hello REBOL"
