Below you can find a very simple Poke program that works like the
standard Unix utility strings
.
#!/usr/local/bin/poke -L !# /* Printable ASCII characters: 0x20..0x7e */ var stdin = open ("<stdin>"); var stdout = open ("<stdout>"); var offset = 0#B; try { flush (stdin, offset); var b = byte @ stdin : offset; if (b >= 0x20 && b <= 0x7e) byte stdout : iosize (stdout) = b; offset = offset + 1#B; } until E_eof; close (stdin); close (stdout);
