pipereg(1)

NAME
Pipe a region into a Unix filter

DESCRIPTION
This macro can be used to pipe a hilighted region into a filter program (a program which reads from stdin and writes to stdout). The filtered data is read back into the buffer replacing the hilighted region. If no region is hilighted then the entire buffer is written.

This command should only be used on line-marked regions. Trying to replace data which only occupies a fraction of a line will cause the replaced data to be read into a line by itself.

MENU/KEYS
This macro can be accessed from the CRISP features menu or by typing <Ctrl-A><Ctrl-P> at the command prompt.

BUGS
This macro does not handle regions which do not occupy entire lines.
