Re: [netrexx-pipelines] Question about delimited strings

[J L. T. <jlt...@ma...>]

	This is what I tried:
| ~/bin/NetRexx
| $ pipe "(getHelp) < getOOrexxDocs.nrx | inside %/* -- Help File Text Start -% %*/ -- 
Help File Text End -% | console"
| NOTE: Picked up JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true
| @00:28:55,leslie@pinto rc=0
	I got the same result with !.
