Question

I would like to make a PDF of a parent-topic with 8 child-topics. The result with option ?pdfrecursive=on is a PDF that consists only the parent document. In error.log I found 'Der Befehl "-" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.'. I debugged GenPDF.pm and the point where the message comes from:

 my @data;
 if ($pid) { # parent
 @data = map { chomp $_; $_ } <$pipe>; # remove newline characters. ====message from here==========================
 close $pipe;

Environment

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

May I ask you translate to english the message 'Der Befehl "-" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.' ? And check out the twiki log files for additional informations ( those referenced in LocalSite.cfg by $TWiki::cfg{DebugFileName} $TWiki::cfg{WarningFileName} and $TWiki::cfg{LogFileName} )

I think the translation of the german message is: '-' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I checked the log files, but there are not any further informations. While I were searching in the internet, i found some discussions about the same problem ("opening '-|' on Windows"). Maybe it's a feature, it isn't yet supported on Win32 platforms. Here some links I found:
