Re^5: Using pipes to combine scripts

Not to be difficult, but merely to counterpoint: Not everyone
on the site uses Unix, and thus would possibly not be used to
what is second nature to people like you. Granted, the majority
of people on the site will be Unix users, but I want
my posts to be for everyone, not merely the advanced majority.
I hope that doesn't sound bad, it's a mere statement
of fact.

Not to be difficult, but merely to counterpoint: Not everyone on the site uses Unix, and thus would possibly not be used to what is second nature to people like you. Not to be difficult, but merely to counterpoint: unix (or better: unix-like osen) is much less a second nature for me than you may think. However as hinted in the other post, although it all started with unix, it is a feature now available in most common shells. Actually I started using pipes and shell redirections in my (now) old DOS days when I barely knew about unix and Linux did not exist yet. Admittdly, *nix shells generally offer more powerful opportuinities in this sense, but that's a whole another story.	[reply]
