In fact, they automatically attempt to read from stdin if there is no argument providing or pointing to the data. E.g. if you don't specify a file with addref, refdbc will try to read the data from stdin. Same with getref. If there is no query string, refdbc waits for one on stdin. While refdbc appears to hang here, you can type in a query string and terminate it with Ctrl-d Ctrl-d (there is still a bug in the implementation as this appears to work only once per session). This is in fact a feature, as you can store live queries in text files and pipe them into refdbc to your heart's content. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [email protected] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
