Hi,
I hope this is the right mailing list. I have two
questions.
1. I was wondering if anyone here knows what this
command is doing, besides calling the program
"neighbor"?
system ("neighbor >/dev/null 2>&1 << ! $inpwd 2 3 Y
!")
I understand up to "2>&1", does anyone knows what
comes after that. I am guessing they are all
arguments, but what do "<<" and "!" in particular
mean?
2. Ok, the situation is a bit hard to describe, but
here goes. I have a program that is interactive
(character user interface), and I want to call this
program from perl. So far I know that system() can
call the program, but how do we interactively
communicate with the program afterwards? By that I
mean, which commands are available? Or are there other
methods for doing so? I have heard of batch files, but
I'm not sure how to apply that here.
Thank you very much beforehand. Any help appreciated.
Regards
June
