Heya,
I know that I can use M-| to run a shell script command. I can also use
~C-u M-|~ to run a shell script, pipe the selection as input and have it
replace my selection.
However, I'm wondering if there is a built in way to run a command,
pipe the selection to a shell script, then paste the output of the
command above or below the selection?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

I guess you can do:
M-w C-y C-x C-x ; Duplicate the region to keep a copy
C-u M-|
