      From: papa@sdf.org              I found that one way to do it is to put all the processing that uses the       command output inside subshells in the same PIPE command.              One shortcoming of this method is that it's very easy to go over the       maximum command element length allowed inside the PIPE. For my       procedure, I was able to get around this by choosing lexical functions       to minimize the length of the PIPE command.              Any other way to do this?       --       David Meyer       Takarazuka, Japan       papa@sdf.org              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
