Copy stdin to stdout

Copy stdin to stdout is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Create an executable file that copies stdin to stdout, or else a script that does so through the invocation of an interpreter at the command line.

Perl

<lang sh> perl -pe </lang>

Perl 6

When invoked at a command line: Slightly less magical than Perl / Sed. The p flag means automatically print each line of output to STDOUT. The e flag means execute what follows inside quotes. ".lines" reads lines from the assigned pipe (file handle), STDIN by default.

<lang perl6>perl6 -pe'.lines'</lang>

When invoked from a file: Lines are auto-chomped, so need to re-add newlines (hence .say rather than .print) <lang perl6>.say for lines</lang>

sed

<lang sh> sed -e </lang>
