For example, to pipe the output of an ls command to a text file, type ls | gedit, then press Return. The output of the ls command is displayed in a new text file in the gedit window. -- That functionality does not currently work in gedit 2.24.3 on either of my installed Fedora 10 systems (i386, x86_64). Near as I can tell, it hasn't worked anytime recently. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.24.3-3.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "ls | gedit" 2. 3. Actual results: Empty "Unsaved Document 1" Expected results: "Unsaved Document 1" (or another title?) containing the output of the 'ls' command Additional info: Either the stdin-to-new-document functionality should be fixed, or the documentation should be adjusted to omit description of this nonfeature.

[Bug 9054] Re: gedit does not read from a pipe
Any reason this is 'Wishlist' if the documentation explicitly mentions piping as a feature (Gedit Manual / Programming Features): "You can use gedit to pipe the output of a command to a text file. For example, to pipe the output of an ls command to a text file, type ls | gedit, then press Return. The output of the ls command is displayed in a new text file in the gedit window." It seems like either this bug shouldn't be wishlist (I assume Low instead), or there should be another bug to the effect of "gedit documentation says it can read from pipes although it can't" -- gedit does not read from a pipe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello, I would just like to add that this also affects Hardy. Also I appreciate the workaround Igor, but it is unwieldy and assumes you have write access to the working directory, which is not always going to be the case. The upstream bug report seems somewhat stagnant; a patch or two is provided but from what I gather they are too old to be applicable to the current codebase. -- gedit does not read from a pipe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So you end up with a file named "-" in the folder (and probably in the 'ls -l' output, too), which could be disturbing for some users (especially since 'rm -' doesn't work, you have to issue 'rm "-"').
