I wish she put it on a blog. Can't sign in to youtube, don't want to sign in to youtube.

Exactly. Saw a thumbnail of a video on YouTube the other day: "ls -l >(cat)" (something to that effect) accompanied by something like "Insane Bash tricks you never know!" I never clicked on that video. The command looked intrigued, but I don't want to spend ten minutes watching a video to know that.

Edit: It looks like it's the same person.

I saw like the first couple minutes of that video, but if I recall correctly the <(thing) bit creates a temporary file in /proc so you can use it right away with your command, in the example you gave, with ls
