Subject: Why can't I use xargs emacs?
Date: Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:22:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <p4em37xiau.ln2@news.ducksburg.com> (raw)
The emacs command can take a list of filename arguments, so why can't
I get xargs to work with it?
$ find -name '*.txt' |xargs emacs -nw
emacs: standard input is not a tty
$ grep -rl 'foo' some/path |xargs emacs -nw
emacs: standard input is not a tty

Steve: Now, okay. I did say that monkeys could program Visual Basic.
Leo: But not that all Visual Basic programmers are monkeys.
Steve: Exactly. [Security Now 194]
