cat data.csv | houdini script.{hip,hda} > new-data.csv
aka HOUNIX
It would be great if one could use houdini hips/hdas as general tools for processing datasets. In the above example this might be a csv file.
Apologies for the duplicate question.
The question is how though? Can houdini.exe -background achieve it, or can hcmd.exe capture stdin and stdout?
