Something that provides the same sort of functionality as (cough > cough) vi. Standard GNU Emacs has a command, `shell-command-on-region', which is normally bound to `M-|': ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- shell-command-on-region: Execute string COMMAND in inferior shell with region as input. Normally display output (if any) in temp buffer; Prefix arg means replace the region with it. Noninteractive args are START, END, COMMAND, FLAG. Noninteractively FLAG means insert output in place of text from START to END, and put point at the end, but don't alter the mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Darryl Okahata UUCP: {hplabs!, hpcea!, hpfcla!} hpnmd!darrylo Internet: darrylo%hpnmd@relay.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
