$ScriptInputString—Wolfram Documentation
represents input given on the standard input channel to the original operating system command with which the current instantiation of the Wolfram Language was invoked.
Details
- If the Wolfram Language kernel is invoked via a wolframscript mechanism, the $ScriptInputString contains all input given on standard input.
- If the Wolfram Language kernel is run in a way other than via a wolframscript mechanism, the $ScriptInputString gives None.
