Pipe alternative

[liran]

Hey,

I have some command, I'll call it "command".

I need to do this:
yes | command
but without a pipe, there is a reason for this, because for the specific use, pipe before the command
is not allowed, that's not the point.

Is there an alternative I can use which will output do the same thing without the pipe ?
Maybe something like this:
command < yes
(which will not work because it expects a file, and not a command)
?

Or some other simple way ?

Thanks

You can use subshell:

For example to create a file using the result from echo:

touch <(echo "test.txt")

For more information see command_liners | An alternative to the pipe (in bash/ksh)

Yes I saw that, thanks.
