Hi,

I'm progaming a client/server using netcat

On the client :


On the server :


The problem is that "1" is printed to the screen but not the "2".
In fact, when my script run the read command I can write on the screen but the script never continu.

If someone could help me.

PS : sorry for my bad english !

In the server code, there is no redirection. The read is therefore reading standard input, I fear.

thanks for your answer but why the "2" is not printed ?

Maybe, my explanation of the problem was not clear :

I'm progaming a client/server using netcat

On the server :


I start the server and after I do : echo "xx" | netcat localhost 10000

The fisrt read is done and receive the "xx" from the echo. After, I have a problem because the standard input has been set to the echo and I would like that "read choice" read what is written throught the keyboard.

The problem is that the "1" is printed to the screen but the "2" is never printed because the second read waits for someting from the echo.

if someone could help me...
