I tried it and it doesn't. Why? /dev/stdin is a special file referring to the program's own input. If it's a pipe, then it's only the reading end, which can't be written to. If the program is reading from a regular file, then some OSes will still not let the program open it for writing via the /dev/stdin path; others will allow it, but with varying results. paul
