Hi All,

How do I get this command to work in Linux:

$ echo wineclip | wine clip.exe

Many thanks,

Interesting.

$ echo wineclip | wine cmd /c echo
Echo is ON

This means it did not pick up the pipe.

What are the rules for piping stuff to Windows
programs with Wine?

Many thanks,

I don't think you can pipe things to Windows programs at all, on any OS.

Sure you can. Do it all the time.


| Pipe the output from one command into another command.

& Run two commands with a single command line, e.g.
copy x.txt y.txt & copy a.dat b.dat

|| Run the command to the right only if ErrorLevel > 0
copy x.txt z.txt || echo Error!

&& Run the command to the right only if ErrorLevel = 0
copy x.txt z.txt && echo Success!

That was for Windows. Linux BASH is the same for "|" but
varies on the others.
