Subject: is there any clever way to do 'read' in rc scripts?
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 1991 16:59:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <91Sep16.175932edt.2685@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu> (raw)
I've recently run into a situation where I really, really could use
an rc equivalent of the sh read command in a script, and I can't figure
out how to do this. Any number of methods will work ... if you're getting
input from the keyboard. At least on Ultrix, all of them gobble some or
all of the remaining input if invoked on a pipe or a file.
Any clever ideas, anyone?
