… or '| vim -R -' or even '| vim -' in place of '| less'. But I don't know how vim would do on-the-fly filtering like less can do with & (not being very familiar with vim). > or just press 'v' in 'less'? $ sort -m /var/log/kern.log /var/log/user.log | EDITOR=emacs less Pressing v gives me: Cannot edit standard input (press RETURN) Cheers, David.
