OK. > -- > Stéphane Thanks for the response, Stephane. I'll answer your question here and move future ones to comp.unix.shell. I'm trying to split a pipe into two, without using temp files or variables. cat very_large_text_file | a | long | and | complex | chain | of | pipes | tee <(command_one) <(command_two) 1>/dev/null So, I want to apply command_one and command_two to the whole output of the resulting text stream coming from "pipes". Is there another way to do it, other than using tee, (very large) temp files or (very large) variables? Many Thanks SM
