Ahh, I see. Then yes, that would be the proper adaptation. However, and
someone may have already covered this with you, unless the file you're
processing is guaranteed to always be small, sticking all of it into @output
is probably not the best of ideas. If the output is that of a program,
recall my examples of using open for a program and filtering the ouput.
