How can I execute the results of a pipe?
Hello,

I'm using csh. I have a file named "setup" that I normally source, e.g.

Code:
source setup

I'd like a one-liner that sources this file, but excluding lines that contain "DEBUG", e.g.

Code:
cat setup | grep -v DEBUG | source

Of course, the above does not work. How can I execute the results of a pipe? Or is there another way to do this?
