putting a command and its output in a buffer

putting a command and its output in a buffer

[Gary Weselle]

Hi



I would like to put a shell command and its output in a buffer,

M-1 ! puts the output of the command only.



Thanks

What about M-x shell-command? Later you'll have to edit *Shell  
Command Output* to contain the command ...

Alternatively you can set verbose mode in your shell so that it  
repeats the command.

Brilliant!

(defadvice shell-command (before xtrace activate)
   "When called with a prefix argument, prepend \"set -x\" to COMMAND."
   (when (and (interactive-p) current-prefix-arg)
     (setq command (concat "set -x\n" command))))

Too bad "set -x" is included in shell-command-history.
