Well, Vim only gets one "stdin". However, in bash, you can used anonymous pipes: vimdiff <(somecmd1 filea | filterX) <(somecmd2 fileb | filterY) to take the output of a series of commands and treat it as a pseudo-file. In vim, you'd see this as editing /dev/fd/63 with a note that it's a fifo/socket but you can write the results wherever you want. If you don't run in bash, you'd have to save the intermediate results into temp files and clean them up when you're done: somecmd1 filea | filterX > temp1.txt somecmd2 fileb | filterY > temp2.txt vimdiff temp1.txt temp2.txt rm temp1.txt temp2.txt -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
