pipe multiple files (gz) into c program,
- by monkeyking
Ive written a cprogram that works when i pipe data into my program using stdin like
gunzip -c IN.gz|./a.out
If I want to run my program on a list of files I can do something like
for i `cat list.txt`
do
gunzip -c $i |./a.out
done
But this will start my program 'number of files' times.
I'm interested in piping all the files into the same process run.
Like doing
for i `cat list.txt`
do
gunzip -c $i >>tmp
done
cat tmp |./a.out
thanks.
