Im trying to execute a perl script as a passed argument from the command line. I compiled a c file and named it "Test", so trying to pass an argument I try this
>Test perl -e "print qq{A\n}x500"
which I want to mean, run Test file and pass 500 A's, but it seems to not be working
Why do you think it should work? It runs Test and passes 3 arguments to it - perl, -e, "print qq{A\n}\x500". In bash it would be:
Test `perl -a "print qq{A\n}x500"`
For windows, there is no simple way to get a programs output as a variable or pass it to another command directly.
See this post, it describes how set a commands output to a variable.
Try using a pipe, you were latterly passing perl -e "print qq{A\n}x500" to Test.
Example of using a pipe :
perl -e "print qq{A\n}x500" | Test
