Talk:Shell one-liner: Difference between revisions

Line 23:
The idea was to invoke the language - in this case BASIC, from a command shell outside of the language, together with one line of text which would become the program for the language to run. The basic example seems to be invoking a command shell and another program from within the BASIC shell. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
: I guess I misunderstood the task. There's no standard way to do ''that'' for BASIC (many implementations don't have a non-interactive mode, or else can't take their input from stdin). I'll remove it. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 00:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 
==One Line?==
The [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Shell_one-liner&diff=22059&oldid=22058 original aim] of the task specified one-line. I wondered why was it was changed to allow multiple line examples?
 
The current edited task description seems to be at odds with the task title, as "one-liner" has a well known meaning of one line; and not relying on the shell to concatenate several lines into one. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 01:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
