You can do same with sh(1), e.g. $ svn log | (IFS=; while read li; do [ $((i+=1)) -le 10 ] && echo "$li"; done) versus $ svn log | (IFS=; while read li && [ $((i+=1)) -le 10 ]; do echo "$li"; done) ... svn: Write error: Broken pipe But I think subversion should > there's probably a much more efficient way of discarding the input without > closing the pipe unless the input ceased. it's just a 5 minute hack in order > to > see if people find the idea useful or not. ;) Can you give an example of usefulness that does not involve subversion? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
