Hi everybody, first of all i am a new member in UNIX.com and this is my first post.
I am impressed with the amount of information a person can ever have in this forum, it is really great having something similiar; anyways let me tell you about the problem I am having, hope you will answer me. (P.S: I am new to UNIX, it's been only couple of months I started working on a UNIX machine, so please be patient on me )

I am trying to redirect the input of a executable from a file, i've wrote the required input in that file, but for some reasons the executable isn't taking them in the right order, it is like if it's missing something, and at the end, when the file finish before the input requirement of the program, it start a loop of a character which looks like ~ this one or sometimes .f.
the input required is :
T
[return]
2
1
[return]
q
q

I am putting that in a file let's say called test
and starting the command as follows :
#command < test

am I missing anything ??
