Binary reading from stdin

 [1/4] from: andreas:bolka:gmx at: 17-Feb-2002 22:07


Hi REBOLs! I'm trying to write a program that reads binary data from fd 0 (stdin). Is there any way to accomplish that with REBOL? -- Best regards, Andreas mailto:[andreas--bolka--gmx--net]

stdin is system/ports/input. You'll have to do something like: set-modes system/ports/input [binary: yes] data: copy system/ports/input You'll need to set it back to string if you need to get input from the user later (but it's likely you don't, if you're piping data from another process).

that's exactly what i do - but it does not seem to work. i'm quite sure that it's the fault of my program (not the callers fault). . set-modes system/ports/input [ binary: true lines: false ] . probe get-modes system/ports/input [ binary lines ] . probe copy/part system/ports/input 8 ; [binary: true lines: false] ; #{} when i try to read-io, read-io returns -1. system/ports/input looks as attached: . probe system/ports/input [i replaced every occurrence of paths with /path/to/script] make object!

How is your program called? On what platform? Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r
