Yes, but in this case this works because "-" is a physical file. So you end up with a file named "-" in the folder (and probably in the 'ls -l' output, too), which could be disturbing for some users (especially since 'rm -' doesn't work, you have to issue 'rm "-"'). You can actually do this properly, like: ls -l >/tmp/dummy | gedit /tmp/dummy (or /dev/shm/dummy, if available), but reading from a pipe would be far nicer. -- Arnold -- gedit does not read from a pipe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
