Short: WORKING pipe frontend for AmigaShell Author: Osma Ahvenlampi Uploader: Osma Ahvenlampi Type: util/shell Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a PIPE: frontend for AmigaShell, taking advantage of an undocumented feature in it since OS version 2.04. Pipe processes a command line of the form "cmd1 | cmd2 [| cmd3 [...]]" and creates a pipeline with the output of one command as the input of the next. A simple usage example is "List SYS: | More". This is the second released version of Pipe. Changes since version 1.4: - input/output redirection works, ie. ilbmtoppm foo.gif will work. - silly mistake with not recognising IN: or OUT: in the end of command line fixed. Feature list: - _pchar for normal piping - _mchar for output catenation - IN: and OUT: pseudofiles to fix those broken programs that can't read stdin. - works with AmigaDOS scripts - works with badly formed command lines - small, pure, residentable - tested on OS 3.1 Install by copying to a directory in Shell search path and adding commands Set _pchar "|" Set _mchar "||" to S:Shell-Startup. Pipe is GIFTWARE.
