[Gambas-user] auto detect pipe |

[Jussi Lahtinen]

No time to think, but I guess "if (isatty(STDIN_FILENO))" would work when
translated into Gambas. However, my gut feeling is that you are doing
something in non-standard way.
IE there should be another approach for the desired end result. Why do you
need this?
