Maybe you can try with an expect[1] script? Something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/expect -f send_user "Word?\ " expect_user -re "(.*)\n" exec
dict "$expect_out(1,string)\n" exit --8<---------------cut
here---------------end--------------->8--- If you execute that script
it will ask for a word and pass it to dict (you need to have expect
installed). This is my first expect script, so probably there are much
better ways to solve your problem. HTH, ______________ [1] apt-cache
show expect
Thanks for the help Einar. I'll give this a try.
