Subject: Piping output to a buffer
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 18:30:13 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877igtho8a.fsf@celephais.home.net> (raw)
I have noticed that in vim one can invoke an external command and pipe
the output into the current buffer via the `!!` or `:r!` commands.
While I have not made a habit of really using this command in vim, as I
have also not made a habit of using vim, I did realize that this could
be a really useful capability. So, how might one do this in emacs?
