Using vim 5.3, I get:
ls my.txt | vim Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal Empty buffer Vim: Error reading input, exiting... Vim: preserving files... Vim: Finished. Also, ls my.txt | xargs vim Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal Then it looks like it's editing the file, but hoses up my telnet session, etc. Is it because I'm telnetted? I have no idea...
