how to read console input

following code snipper works using ‘node’ command, but not works using ‘sjs’ command

process.stdin.on('data', function (chunk) {
  process.stdout.write('data: ' + chunk);
}).resume();

@nfischer I’ve started working on this and I’ve realized that cat can be piped like in pwd().cat() so in order to keep that functionality I propose to use - as filepath to specify standard input instead of the absence of filepaths

cat('file1.txt', '-', 'file2.txt')

From man cat:

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input

Suggestions?

@nfischer I want to read from stdin synchronously. I was expecting that cat called without filepaths would do it.

Since I haven’t found a way to do it with shelljs I have used a stackoverflow snippet showing a cross-platform way of reading stdin synchronously.

Would you be interested in a PR for making cat reading from stdin when called without arguments?
