Subject: [9fans] acme: send dot to the stdin of a more complicated command
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 064a881c-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hello everyone,

when I want to process a dot's contents in acme I can use the '>' syntax, e.g.

have

> awk '{print}'

in a window, select it, and then 2-1 click on Edit in the window with
my dot. That works.
But what shall I do when the awk script is more complicated, in the
simplest case like

> awk '
{print}
'

When I select it all and do the same as before, it doesn't work
(probably because of the new lines?)...

Thanks
Ruda
