in thread how to get spool info from NT

Ok, but it's not possible to do so in my case, cause there may be a lot of data on STDIN. So I can't read all the data to a variable.
I really need to know the size before the script is working with the data.

Cheers

    Well OK, then read the stuff piecewise and save to a file. You *will* have to handle the data some time, I suppose, so you have to read it anyway.

      Actually I only send the data via a socket to a unix-server and don't work with the data :-)
      I need the length of the stream for generating a task-bar to show the user, how many percent is allready done.
