Sure, but why in the name of all that is holy would you do that? If you expect to be dealing with a lot of input and don't want to kill your machine, you'd do something like:$stdin.each_line { |l| puts l } In short, I've written several thousand lines of Ruby, a fair amount of it dealing with IO processing, and I've never once yet used IO#eof -- nor do I ever intend on doing so. The iterators available in the IO class can take care of basically anything you need to do.
The short answer is to illustrate that "$stdin.eof" works. It's not meant to solve the problems of the world. O Plameras _______________________________________________ coders mailing list coders@slug.org.au http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
