In POSIX sh you can define the following

cmpdir () { comm <(/bin/ls $1|sort) <(/bin/ls $2|sort); }

but fish interprets the parentheses differently so the redirection fails e.g.

function cmpdir; comm <(ls $argv[1]|sort) <(ls $argv[2]|sort); end

is not legal.

Is there a way of making this sort of command output redirect work in
fish? 

Thanks!
Steven
