Hello,
I have a problem with autoflush. Platform is Windows NT 4 / sp6.
I use the following code:
$command = 'executable.exe param1 '; #option 1
# $command = 'DIR C:\ /S'; #option 2
open (PIPE, "$command |");
$| = 1;
while (<PIPE>){
print;
}
If I use line with (option 2) the output does not get buffered as expected.
If I use line with (option 1) the output of the executable is buffered.
If I execute the line "executable.exe param1" on the DOS prompt
the oputput is produced immediately.
I tried both autoflush PIPE and select((select(PIPE), $| = 1)[0]) commands,
I even print out the value of $| during execution, it is set to 1.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
|__
