Hi,
other then using [shell], is there a way to read from a named pipe / fifo in Linux?
I tried [textfile] and [msgfile] from zexy. Both fail to read from a pipe, [msgfile] with the error message:
pd: getbytes() failed -- out of memory msgfile_read: could not reserve -1 bytes to read into
the problem being, that pipes don't have a "size", and both textfile and msgfile attempt to read the entire file on startup.
anyhow, zexy also has [freadln] and [fwriteln] which should work ok.
