FIELDS | TTRANSPOSE kosher?

Hi

I am trying to use FIELDS to extract some parts of a text file and pipe the result to TTRANSPOSE but I am getting this message:

ERROR: task `ttranspose' not found

is this normal?

Thanks!

That particular message means the TABLES.TTOOLS package isn't loaded. TABLES is an external package that must be installed separately, in v2.15 the TTOOLS tasks are available in the core system under the NTTOOLS package (which is loaded by default).

Thanks for the reply.

I actually have TABLES installed. I tried saving the output file from FIELDS and then use TTRANSPOSE and it worked well.
But I have thousands of files to work on and it would be easier if I can pipe the output to TTRANSPOSE directly instead of saving all those files.

This should work, you just need to specify the input table as 'STDIN'.
