RE: [cdt-dev] How do I get eclipse/cdt to read from the standardinpu t?

["Stephen McLaughlin" <smclaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alex-
   Maybe I am misunderstanding your answer, but what I am most
interested in is running my program using the eclipse debugger.
Therefore, I do not want to run the program using the shell.  In fact,
the program runs fine if it is started from the shell.
   Also, I could rewrite the program to accept the filename as an
argument and create an input stream, but I would like to avoid tampering
with the source code as it is someone else's code I am trying to
understand.  Furthermore, it seems like there ought to be a way to make
eclipse do this.  Anybody know?  Please let me know if the question is
still not clear.

Thanks,
Stephen

I think, this is a shell (win32 or unix) who does the job. So instead of

launching the program itself, launsh cmd.exe for Windows or sh/bash for 
Linux. Or change the program so it expects the  file name to be passed 
as a command line  argument.
