Full Discussion: Changing stdin from file redirection to console input
Top Forums Programming Changing stdin from file redirection to console input Post 7670 by nauman on Saturday 29th of September 2001 07:52:19 AM

Question
I am not opening any file in my program. The file is being redirected to stdin by the OS.

bin &lt inputfile

I am using gets() to read, which not to mention read from the stdin. After I am finished reading the file, I want gets() to continue reading from console input.

Are u implying that file redirection causes a fd attached to stdin. If so when I reopen the fd, what argument should I give it, to attach it to console input.

I am going to try it next anyway and see what happens.

Thanx

Nauman
