Once I have the output of a command, can I use that output without typing it in or resorting to complicated find/sed gibberish? Surely this is a common enough position to be in that Bash would have a facility for it built in?
For instance:

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
