Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Putting echo output as input to stat Post 302444018 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 10th of August 2010 05:30:10 PM

Most well-written unix utilities accept stdin as a valid input usually like this
Code:
echo "thing" | command -

The trailing - means 'read from stdin'

Unfortunately the stat command line utility does not do this, at least the one from coreutils3.3 does not. Try it if you have a newer version.
