Re: Re: nonblocking char reads from OUTPUT stream from open3

Thanks for the reply. I think I already set this. You say autoflush on the filehandle, but I'm not sure that is exactly what you meant. I don't think you can set autoflush on a specific filehandle can you? I just set $| to 1.

Anyway, this still wasn't solving the problem. I started out actually with getc(), because I figured that with autoflush on, there would be no way I wouldn't get all the chars up to the point where this seperate process typed out the line (without a carriage return) with the wait for a "y" or "n". But for some reason, just on that one line, the getc() stopped working it seemed.

You can set autoflush on a single handle:

 use IO::Handle;
 autoflush FH 1; # first way
 FH->autoflush(1); # OO-ish way

But anyway, that's not what you need (I just tried). I just don't know how to do it... sorry
