At first thought I had incorrectly limited the field length, however the problem is only present where there is a '£' char. For example: "1234".length => 4 "1234£".length => 6 (Expect 5) "1234£6... 4 Jun 2010 09:11

Looking for ORM for 'legacy' database.

However, the more I write and plan, I wonder whether the comm... 18 Jun 2010 21:16

redirecting stdin for 3. party program
One small addendum: I'm not actually interested in reading in something via 'gets' before launching the external command, I only included it for demonstration purposes. What I am hoping to get to work is something like the second test case, just with stdin coming from a pipe instead of a file. -- Posted via http... 3 Jun 2010 13:23
