Does anyone know of a way to mimic the up arrow/down arrow type bash behavior within a shell script?
Say I have a scripted menu, and would like to be able to up arrow to bring up the last X number of lines of user input?
Thanks to anybody with a suggestion. :) (0 Replies)

I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a set of variables that are numbered based on another variable (using eval) in a loop, and then call on it before the loop ends.
As an example I've written a script called question (The fist command is to show what is the contents of the... (2 Replies)
Hi all
Sorry for the basic question, but i am writing a shell script to get around a slightly flaky binary that ships with one of our servers. This particular utility randomly generates the correct information and could work first time or may work on the 12th or 100th attempt etc !.... (4 Replies)

Hi,
In the code "for loop" has been used to search for files (command line arguments) in directories and then produce the result to the standard output. However, I want when no files are named on the command line, it should read a list of files from standard input and it should use the command... (7 Replies)

io::async::loop::poll
IO::Async::Loop::Poll(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Loop::Poll(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Loop::Poll" - use "IO::Async" with "poll(2)"
SYNOPSIS
Normally an instance of this class would not be directly constructed by a program. It may however, be useful for runinng IO::Async with an
existing program already using an "IO::Poll" object.
use IO::Poll;
use IO::Async::Loop::Poll;
my $poll = IO::Poll->new;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop::Poll->new( poll => $poll );
$loop->add( ... );
while(1) {
my $timeout = ...
my $ret = $poll->poll( $timeout );
$loop->post_poll;
}
DESCRIPTION
This subclass of "IO::Async::Loop" uses an "IO::Poll" object to perform read-ready and write-ready tests.
To integrate with existing code that uses an "IO::Poll", a "post_poll" can be called immediately after the "poll" method on the contained
"IO::Poll" object. The appropriate mask bits are maintained on the "IO::Poll" object when notifiers are added or removed from the set, or
when they change their "want_writeready" status. The "post_poll" method inspects the result bits and invokes the "on_read_ready" or
"on_write_ready" methods on the notifiers.
CONSTRUCTOR
$loop = IO::Async::Loop::Poll->new( %args )
This function returns a new instance of a "IO::Async::Loop::Poll" object. It takes the following named arguments:
"poll" The "IO::Poll" object to use for notification. Optional; if a value is not given, a new "IO::Poll" object will be constructed.
METHODS
$count = $loop->post_poll( $poll )
This method checks the returned event list from a "IO::Poll::poll" call, and calls any of the notification methods or callbacks that are
appropriate. It returns the total number of callbacks that were invoked; that is, the total number of "on_read_ready" and "on_write_ready"
callbacks for "watch_io", and "watch_time" event callbacks.
$poll Reference to the "IO::Poll" object
$count = $loop->loop_once( $timeout )
This method calls the "poll" method on the stored "IO::Poll" object, passing in the value of $timeout, and then runs the "post_poll" method
on itself. It returns the total number of callbacks invoked by the "post_poll" method, or "undef" if the underlying "poll" method returned
an error.
