UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,
Is there a way to display the stdout of a script using vi editor without writing the stdout to a file.

I have a script (format.sh) which reads a file and displays it in a special format.
i want to see this displayed text using vi editor?

currently i am doing:
format.sh myfile> out.txt
vi out.txt

but can i do it in one shot without using a temporary out.txt file

thanks in advance...

This works for me...

Code:

cat file1 | vi -

(where "cat file" is your program - i.e. format.sh)
