wl-paste: Pipe the contents of the clipboard to a command.
$ wl-paste | ${command}
try on your machine
This command combines the output of two commands using a pipeline. Here's how it works:
-
wl-paste- This command reads from the clipboard and outputs the content. The content can be text, files, or anything that is copied to the clipboard. -
|- This is the pipe symbol, which connects the output ofwl-pasteto the next command. -
${command}- This is a placeholder for another command that you can substitute. This is where you specify the command that you want to process the output ofwl-paste.
Overall, the command reads the content from the clipboard using wl-paste and then passes it to the specified ${command} for further processing or manipulation.
