Generic PipePipes a reformatted stdout stream from the left hand command to stdin of the right hand command
This token behaves much like the |
pipe would except it
injects format generic
into the pipeline. The purpose of a
formatted pipe is to support piping out to external commands which don’t
support Murex data types. For example they might expect arrays as lists
rather than JSON objects).
» ja [Mon..Wed] => cat
Mon
Tue
Wed
The above is literally the same as typing:
» ja [Mon..Wed] -> format generic -> cat
Mon
Tue
Wed
To demonstrate how the previous pipeline might look without a formatted pipe:
» ja [Mon..Wed] -> cat
["Mon","Tue","Wed"]
» ja [Mon..Wed] | cat
["Mon","Tue","Wed"]
» ja [Mon..Wed]
[
"Mon",
"Tue",
"Wed"
]
ja
