redirect_stdin

redirect_stdin([stream])

Like redirect_stdout, but for STDIN. Note that the order of the return tuple is still (rd,wr), i.e. data to be read from STDIN, may be written to wr.

Examples

  1. Redirect STDIN to a file:

    julia> file = open("input.txt", "w");
    julia> redirect_stdin(file);

    This example redirects the STDIN stream to a file named "input.txt". All subsequent input read from STDIN will be read from this file.

  2. Restore STDIN after redirection:

    julia> original_stdin = redirect_stdin();

    This example restores the STDIN stream to its original source after redirection. The redirect_stdin() function without an argument returns the original STDIN stream.

Common mistake example:

julia> redirect_stdin(10)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching redirect_stdin(::Int64)

In this example, a non-stream argument is provided to redirect_stdin(). The function expects a stream object to redirect STDIN, not an integer or any other type. Make sure to provide a valid stream object as an argument to redirect_stdin().
