pipe

I can't type the "|" at my workstation.
The reason maybe keyboard setting or env setting.
How can I?

Don't know if this helps, but I've seen it as the @ (at) key in some configurations.

Thanks, but it isn't.
I have "|" key but it doesn't work as it.

Sounds like your terminal settings are being gobbled up. Does it print anything when you strike the "|" key?

It may depend on how you are getting to your Unix OS... If you are using something like Reflections X (from a PC), then the package you are using be be gobbling up the pipe keystokes, and you need to refer to doc from the vendor.

If you are using telnet/rlogin straight on to Unix, then I suspect your term/TERM settings are incorrect.

In either case, messing with these settings can really screw you out of control, so if you have an SA, it might be time to contact him/her.

hi,

on some OS'es the carat ^ works . so try the ^ as your pipe symbol to see if this works , until you get your | symbol working as Hutch has stated
