how do I send 'control+x'

[Anon]

Hi,

If I open a pipe to a file using pine, how can I send 'Control+' based commands?

I looked at the Ascii chart, and couldn't find the correct reference(s).

I need to be able to send :

Control+k
Control+u
Control+x

using vi is unfortunately not an option.

Regards,

sorry, that's PICO, not pine. 🙂

found a way :

// open pipe to generated file.
$fpop=popen("pico $gen_filename","w");

// Delete the first line read
fputs($fpop,chr(27));
fputs($fpop,chr(27));
fputs($fpop,"k");

// Undo the delete
fputs($fpop,chr(27));
fputs($fpop,chr(27));
fputs($fpop,"u");

// Send file quit command
fputs($fpop,chr(27));
fputs($fpop,chr(27));
fputs($fpop,"x");

// Yes to save
fputs($fpop,"y");

// Enter
fputs($fpop,"\r");

// Close pipe.
pclose($fpop);
