    copied!<p>Hello i compile this program to an executable called picodb and try to run it through a shell bash script at linux. </p> <pre><code>int main(int argc, char** argv) { Debbuger DB(argc,argv); char command[12]; int len; bool valid; while(1) { valid=true; cin.clear(); cin&gt;&gt;command; len=strlen(command); if(command[0]=='t') { if(strcmp(command,"trace")==0 || len==1) { cin&gt;&gt;command; valid=DB.Trace(command); } else valid=false; } else if(command[0]=='r') { if(strcmp(command,"redirect")==0 || len==1) { char stream[6],file[15]; cin&gt;&gt;stream; cin&gt;&gt;file; valid=DB.Redirect(stream,file); } else valid=false; } else if(command[0]=='b') { if(strcmp(command,"blocking-mode")==0 || len==1) { cin&gt;&gt;command; valid=DB.Blocking_mode(command); } else valid=false; } else if(command[0]=='l') { if(strcmp(command,"limit-trace")==0 || len==1) { int n; cin&gt;&gt;n; valid=DB.Limit_Trace(n); } else valid=false; } else if(command[0]=='g') { if(strcmp(command,"go")==0 || len==1) { DB.Go(argv[1]) ; } } else if(command[0]=='q') { if(strcmp(command,"quit")==0 || len==1) return 0; else valid=false; } else if(command[0]=='h') { if(strcmp(command,"help")==0 || len==1) DB.Help(); else valid=false; } else valid =false; if(valid==false) { cout&lt;&lt;"Invalid command"&lt;&lt;endl; } } } </code></pre> <p>The script is this:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash ./picodb &lt;&lt; EOF t file_management r stdin input.txt EOF </code></pre> <p>but when i execute this script the program goes to an infinite loop where it gets the "t file_management" and never stops or change this input. I printed the string command and it always has the value " t file_management" the first argument. I can't figure what I am doing wrong. I tried running the program at terminal giving it the inputs by hand and works fine.</p> <p>Edit:To make it clearer this is supposed to be a user interface.It never gets out of loop until you type quit.The problem is that what is read throuth the bash repeats to infinite.</p>
