Re: Realy simple pipe insert ?
Frequently plumbing is easier to operate on a record rather than a set of records. Most of us will resort to some kind of sipping pipeline that operates on such a single set (rather than a stream of sets). If you need something that will look at two adjacent records, it sometimes helps to do this: | dup | drop | join , , | Now it's easy to remove the record that has apple prune since that represents an apple followed by a prune. After you removed that, you use a spec w1 will get you the single item per record again. Alternative would be this: | o: if between /apple/ 2 | pick w1 /prune/ | o: | Clearly if you know there will be only one apple or one prune, things get way easier... Rob

Re: Realy simple pipe insert ?
You've all fallen for it! It is a well known fact that you cannot mix APPLES and ORANGES. Won't work. Add a tablespoon of cinnamon, two tablespoons of light brown sugar per apple and orange, and a jigger of really good brandy, and heat on low. Add teaspoons of honey slowly until you get a smooth pouring consistency. Watch carefully so the syrup and fruit don't burn. Serve over French vanilla ice cream. Even PIPES can't do it!

Re: Realy simple pipe insert ?
Modify the SPECS stage to 'SPECS /ORANGES/ 1 write 1-* 1 |', emiting the string ORANGES before copying the existing record, rather than after it.

Sitting here this morning going over last night's emails, I read this one to my wife (after a short reminder that 'PIPES' is something that can manipulate files...). My six year old daughter looked at me after listening to the recipe and asked what's brandy?. I told her it's a kind of liquor. (She knows I have a scotch for L'Chaim! on occasion). She made a face, and said we have a better way to mix apples and oranges. And with a great big smile she said FRUIT SALAD!. That was my OT post for the day. :-) Shimon
Simple PIPE ?
I think this should be really simple, but the brain doesn't seem to be working this morning. I have this little pipe, and the last stage is '|VAR NEWNAME'.

Re: Simple PIPE ?
Yes, cheating. Sometimes cheating is OK. ;-)
Another alternative (to be considered only after determining if the
process could be better handled in the pipe itself):
...pipe stuff...
'| VAR newname'
If symbol('NEWNAME')='VAR' /* 'NEWNAME' must be in quotes and IIRC
capitalized */
then go ahead and use the variable as set by the pipe
else the variable was not set, take appropriate action
I confess to using TRACKING or symbol('VARNAME_WHATEVER') depending on how
clear my mind is at the moment.
Symbol() is probably a more clean technique, but Rich's STEM solution
works well to (esp. with a 'TAKE 1' stage before it).
