Re: Passing string into stdin of screen

Michael, Thank you for your response. I successfully tried your suggestion. FYI, I was also able to enter a string into stdin in the following more-convoluted manner: STRING > FILENAME screen -X bufferfile FILENAME screen -X readbuf screen -X paste . Thank you again. Cheers, Willi

Passing string into stdin of screen
