Are you using Linux or Windows? In Linux, I believe the EOF character is indicated by Ctrl-D. In Windows, it's Ctrl-Z.

If you want the print to return upon pressing enter. Store the input into a scalar as such:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. my $temp = <STDIN>;
  2. print "$temp";

Hi,

The array size is not mentioned so that it doesn't know which element
is last, so that it doesn't print anything. So u must give Ctrl+Z to terminate,
then it wl show the result..
Thanks

Doing this before, I could only find...

Hi all. I'm writing a little script that operates on either stdin or a file specified on the command line when run. I'm trying to handle the situation where the script's run without any input gracefully but can't think how to test for stdin. I can test for a file argument on the command line using getopt and validate its existence with os.path.exists. If it doesn't I can print the useage.

I was writing a small script the other day with the following CLI prog * I've used getopt to parse out the possible options, so we'll ignore that part, and assume for the rest of the discussion that args is a list of file names (if any provided). I used this bit of code to detect wether i want stdinput or not. if len(args)==0:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
