If you're looking to take the output from a command, edit it, then pipe it back into another command, may I suggest your favourite editor? vim can do it like so (for example): (in command mode) !!ls (edit to your heart's content) :%!wc I'm sure emacs can do it too, but I don't know emacs all that well.
