Re: simulating console input

Hello,

I would like to run a Dos program, that needs keyboard input (just one "Y"),
automatically via "make" in an ssh-session.

How could I simulate the "Y" keypress?

"echo Y | DosProgram.exe"
  does not work...

The keypress is accepted only in a dos-console.

TIA for any help!
Peter

Does "echo Y | DosProgram.exe" work in a cmd window?
If so it should be possible to do something like (untested)
cmd /c echo Y | pgm
