- Is there an emacs function which will insert the output from a shell
- command into the current buffer? Something like what
- shell-command-on-region does but in the current buffer.
-
- shell-command-on-region:
- Execute string COMMAND in inferior shell with region as input.
- Normally display output (if any) in temp buffer;
- Prefix arg means replace the region with it.
- Noninteractive args are START, END, COMMAND, FLAG.
- Noninteractively FLAG means insert output in place of text from START to END,
- and put point at the end, but don't alter the mark.
-
- That is. Mark an empty region, then execute shell-command-on-region
- with an prefix argument.
