LOAD DATA INFILE from a pipe on Windows.

[Sela Lerer]

I tried running this query from a C++ program:
"LOAD DATA INFILE '\\\\\\\\.\\\\pipe\\\\mypipe' INTO TABLE t3"
(so many \ because C++ compile makes each 2 become 1 and the MySQL interpeter does that again!)

I tried it in this version too:
"LOAD DATA INFILE '//./pipe/mypipe' INTO TABLE t3"

Both give me the same error message:
MySQL(29): File '\\pipe\mypipe' not found (Errcode: 2)

It seems that MySQL is changing the file name so the \\. at the beginning is erased.

Did any one succeeded in performing this task? (reading from a Windows pipe)
Any one knows how to over come the problem?

Thank you,
Sela.


P.S.
For the skeptic ones, the pipe does exist and I've succeeded in reading data from with another program useing C++ ifstream object, so a simple file reading code should be able to read from the pipe with no problems.
