Hi there,

can you pipe text output to KDE apps like kate?

I´d like to pipe some grep output to e.g. kate or kwrite, but does not work.

When I do cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep apparmor | grep ALLOWED | kwrite the kwrite window stays empty....

Doesn´t KDE support this?

I´d like to pipe stuff to kwrite, because it is easier for me to work with the output in kwrite that in the konsole.

Thanks.

Unfortunately KWrite does not support pipes as far as I am aware.

It does support reading the text from stdin though (with the "--stdin" command line option).

So this should work as intended: (provided you have read access to /var/log/audit/audit.log of course, which you normally won't have as user... )

Code: Select all

 cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep apparmor | grep ALLOWED | kwrite --stdin
