I was wondering whether people feel that something like this should exist in the XFree86 distribution:
http://iki.fi/v/xsel/ Basicly, it does this: xsel give access to the X selection from the command line. You can paste stuff from the X selection to stdout and copy stuff from stdin to X selection. A few examples: echo puppa | xsel -c # 'puppa' is now the current X selection echo puppa | xsel --copy # same as above xsel -p | less # pastes the current X selection to less xsel --paste | less # same as above The implementation is an utter hack, and it's far from something I would dare to suggest for inclusion as is, but I feel the idea is useful, and I use it a lot. -- v -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
