🔁 ZSH File-in-place syntax

Reblog via Dr. Juande Santander-Vela

Reminder to myself: the “file in place” syntax for zsh is <(script), where the output of script is substituted as a file input argument to a particular tool.

I use it a lot with ksdiff to make diffs of things that may come, for instance, from Jira messages where I get two versions of the same text. Then, I type:

ksdiff <(echo "Final texto") <(echo "Final text")

and can get a graphical view of the difference.
