[ale] script

[cor.angela at mindspring.com (Cor van Dijk)]

Greetings,
I am trying to write a script which will feed a single line of output of
"locate" into a simple imageviewer like
"gqview" or "kview" (redhat6.2). I tried both shell scripting and Perl,
so far with little succes. Obvious things
like piping wont work.  Perl seems to categorize this problem under
"interacting with strangers". Also, there might be image viewers which
will accept a command line from a file, but I haven't found any.
Any ideas welcome.

Cor van Dijk
