stdin -> stdout

[max(01)*]

hi.

i was wondering, what's the simplest way to echo the standard input to
the standard output, with no modification.

i came up with:

....
while True:
try:
raw_input()
except EOFError:
break
....

but i guess there must be a simpler way.

using bash i simply do 'cat', *sigh*!

bye

max

ps: in perl you ca do this:

....
while ($line = <STDIN>)
{
print STDOUT ("$line");
}
....

Try this.

import sys

line = sys.stdin.readl ine()
while line:
sys.stdout.writ e(line)
line = sys.stdin.readl ine()

import sys
for line in iter(sys.stdin. readline, ''):
sys.stdout.writ e(line)

Note that this uses the second form of iter(), which calls its first
argument repeatedly until it returns the sentinel value (its second
argument).

This is fine if you don't need the reads and writes of lines to run in
lockstep. File iterators read into a buffer, so you'll probably read
4096 bytes from stdin before you ever write a line to stdout. If that's
okay, this is a good solution. OTOH, if you want the reads and writes
to run in lockstep, you should probably use this idiom:

import sys
for line in iter(sys.stdin. readline, ''):
sys.stdout.writ e(line)

P.S. You may also be able to get your version working using the -u
(unbuffered) option to Python, but I couldn't.

Actually, in perl it's easier than that, if you can tolerate that it also
filters file(s) given on the command-line:

while(<>) {
print;
}

or even:

#!/usr/bin/perl -p
;

Of course, not every programming language needs to have easy-to-use
filtering capabilities at the core.

I guess you could, but there wouldn't be much point. In Perl, you can
do this with just command-line flags:

perl -pe '' input.txt

Or if you really want something to put in a file:

print <>

Here's the closest thing I could come up with in Python:

import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
print line,
