The way I did this was to use sys.stdin.readlines() to get the output from the pipe.
Here is the program:
[code] import sys, glob args = sys.stdin.readlines() # found on the net pat = sys.argv[1] for i in args: if (i.find(pat) != -1): print i, [/code]
My question is am I getting the output from the pipe in the correct way ? The way Im doing it works (so far) but should I be doing it another way ?
unless you want the output for some other reason, a more idiomatic way is:
for line in sys.stdin.readlines():
# handle the lineI tend to use xreadlines() which does not read the entire input at once. For stdin this make sense, you have no idea how much data will be piped in.
