Standard input and ferret
Hello,
A colleague of mine tried to run ferret in a script so that the standard
input would be read from the script through what is called a here
document. Basically, he did something like this (Bourne shell syntax):
for i in 17 32 45
do
ferret <<END
go script.$i.jnl
quit
END
done
When I try to run this with ferret v5.00 beta 1.1, I get the yes?
prompt, the go command is not executed and I cannot type anything. I
have to kill ferret from another window. If I use v4.91, though, it
works perfectly. Is there any trick that needs to be done to make it
work with version 5.0 beta 1.1 or is this a bug ? I tried also with the
-batch command line option, but it did not help. The problem occurs
using the SGI version compiled for IRIX 6.5.
Thanks,
