How to parse pipe with multiple commands independently?
- by yarun can
How can I parse output of a single command by multiple commands without truncating at each step?
For example
ls -al|grep -i something will pass every line that has "something" in it to the next pipe which is fine, but that also means every other line in the pipe is discarded since there wont be matching the condition. What I want is to be able to operate on single pipe by many commands independently.
In this case it a pipe from Mutt which passes the whole message body. I want to get grep, sed, delete and assign each of these to bash variables maybe.
Initially what I want is to be able to assign "message id" to a variable, "subject" to another variable etc Then pass those into proper commands arguments.
Here is how it will be
MessageBodyFromMutt|grep something -Ax -Bx |grep another thing from the original message| sed some stuff from the original message| cut from here to there
Obviously the above line does not do what I want.
I want all these commands to operate on the original message body. I hope it makes sense
