piping a file into my project

[Tom_Arch]

Hey my project (to print out a tv guide) is coming together now. I've tested the lesser parts, but now I need to pipe in an xml file of programmes I get off the net to test my printer.

The main function is in this file tvprogs, but I don't know whether I'm piping my test xml file in properly. What's the expected format?

The print function has the tag

void printEpgText(Epg *pEpg, Filter *pFilter)

I've no filter yet but the Epg pointer comes from

Epg *readEpg(const char* inputFilename)

With these in mind I'm attempting to pipe my test file simple.xml like this:
in terminal : tvprogs < simple.xml

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	Epg* test = readEpg(argv[1]);
	printEpgText(test, NULL);
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;

any clues?

When you pipe a file to your application, you read it through stdin; it does not come in as an argument. To print what got sent to your app, just do:

char buffer[1024];
fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), stdin);
printf("Got: %s\n", buffer);
