In Reply to: dos command comp(are): how do you deactivate prompting? posted by Bonnie on January 22, 2009 at 14:22:16:
: I am using 'comp' within a Perl script. For
: each file in a list, I am comparing it to
: another file. However, after the command
: executes for each file, I get the following
: prompt:
:
: Compare more files(Y/N)?
:
: I'd like to turn this off, or somehow have 'N'
: fed to it so that no manual user interaction is
: required.

: Thanks!

Pipe a "n" to it. For example, if your command was:
comp foobar1.txt foobar2.txt
change it to:
echo n|comp foobar1.txt foobar2.txt
