firstly I want to direct stdout to buffer and then get it in text. but
failed.
and now i'm trying to use external command.
when i'm trying yours
.!printf "\s\n" 'hello world'
I've got this
"\s"
...
but when I type this directly in system ( printf "%s\n" 'hello world' ), it
works.
so is there a solution?
ps: I remember that printf "%s\n" 'hello world' works @ CentOS 5.
I'll find one to test it
