Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,
How can I efficiently cat piped output with another file?

Code:

> (awk command) | cat file1 (piped output)

Thanks!

Code:

zsh-4.3.14[t]% echo file1 content > file1
zsh-4.3.14[t]% awk 'BEGIN { print "output comming from", ARGV[0] }' |
pipe> cat file1 -
file1 content
output comming from awk

Thanks... That '-' symbol was the key.

I don't know what's funnier; the original post or the reply!
You're in left field my friends.

What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish?
What does feeding the standard out from your first command into cat have to do with another file? And why would you want to pipe the output from your first command (which will display something) into cat (to display it) anyhow?

Do you mean that you want to show the output from the first command on the screen as well as write it to a file?

I don't think an entire book of recommendations and suggestions is needed every time somebody doesn't remember a bit of shell syntax.

@rcmjivaro. cat stands for concatenate and that is what the OP is trying to do.

Oops. Sorry. The post from radoulov wasn't there when I posted. The original didn't make sense to me and after reading his it is clear I should stay out of your homework. I submit myself for well deserved flaming if you care to continue.

Code:

for obtuse in $comments;do
    if [ "${obtuse}" ==  "yes" ];then
        echo -e $flame | tee -a ~/deserved.txt
    fi
done
