[Gambas-user] Pipe doesn't receive contents

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Trying the example code for pipes, I only get a waiting prompt, and then 
it jumps out of the loop.

I added two little statements to have some output:

DIM hFile AS File
DIM sLine AS String

hFile = PIPE "/tmp/FIFO1" FOR INPUT

PRINT "Now let's start:"

WHILE NOT Eof(hFile)
   LINE INPUT #hFile, sLine
   PRINT sLine
WEND

PRINT "That's it."

When I start this, it prints the start message and waits. It's in a 
Konsole window within KDE. I open another terminal and type

ls > /tmp/FIFO1

Instead of giving the file list, it just prints the finish message and 
quits.

Did I do something wrong?
