You don't need to try to print the | character. Depends on your shell; a lot of shells with command line editing will not literally echo the ^G as you type it but embed a visible ^G in the command line (echoing ^ and G, not the BEL character), and ^G may also _be_ a control code for the command line editor. As it is in the zsh I'm using. So, yes, on a traditional cooked mode command line typing a ^G will work because it will be echoed directly as it is typed, but it's not always the case (and, indeed, not the case where I'm typing:-) Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ The Microsoft manuals, of course, are just a load of self-serving propaganda written by tekkies under the supervision of public relations folks. - David Lloyd-Jones -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
