Re: [tcljava-user] '|' as a separator of distinct commands

[liobod t. <lio...@gm...>]

I'm also using expect. Expect4j to be precise and i am also able to send
and/or to receive the '|' through CLI on equipments.

I just want to reproduce those equipments behaviour on a linux box (that's
i call a mock).
The aim is to test my application code against this box (this false device)
to ensure non-regression testing.
You can understand i cannot neither test against operationnal equipments in
the operationnal network nor have all my tests cases reproduced in a
specific test plateform .
So i want to mock my tests cases on a easily programmable machine. A linux
machine.

And this linux system cannot natively consider the '|' an argument of a
command.

For instance in those equipments you can have the following line :

> cmd arg1 | arg3


where '|' is the second argument. Not a separator.


On a typical linux shell, the only thing i can do is :

> cmd1 arg 1 | cmd2 arg1

where  '|' is a separator between cmd1 and cmd1. Not an argument.

Hope i'm getting clearer.

Thx,
