Good morning, I use Ruby as a scripting layer over another program, and I want to be able to pipe the output of that program to unix programs. Is this possible? I'm trying to do something like this: #this will return output from the program in a string programoutput = @program.send(input) #destprogram might be cat, grep, more, less, any such program programoutput pipeoutput serr = Open3.popen3(destprogram) Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks, and have a grand old day. Tuan
