Sometimes the commands I run produce output which requires me to use some information from the output. As follows:
Exporting branch {BRANCH}. You may now checkout another branch.
Another process is accessing the directory {LONG_DIRECTORY_PATH}
If the process has died, remove lockfile:
rm {LONG_DIRECTORY_PATH}
In this case, I have to manually enter (or copy) rm {LONG_DIRECTORY_PATH}. This is a big problem when I have to use part of the output as a part of the next command.
Ideally, I would probably like to open previous command output in a text editor (similar to the way Ctrlxe or fc does). How would I go about this?
I would also prefer not to have to change the original command - since I might not know in advance after which command will I have to manipulate the output.
EDIT: Knowing that it's not a built-in feature, is there some sort of a wrapper or external program that allows for such a functionality?
