how to pipe to a kdialog textbox?

  • 772
echo "hello" | kdialog --textbox -

I was hopping that row should pipe the word hello over to kdialog, and by setting the file argument to -, it should have used the piped text as content.

Is it possible to pipe the content to kdialog?

command-line

    I'd use here strings to pass the text to kdialog stdin:

    kdialog --textbox /dev/stdin <<< Hello

    If you need to pass the output of a command you can use command substitution:

    kdialog --textbox /dev/stdin <<< $(my_script.sh | sed_command)
