I like that one. Everything that can be done using a pipe should be done 
so. :-) But maybe there should be a section in the documentation listing 
such combined commands. Also a section how to fix things would be nice. 
Altough I don't know how much there's that can possible go wrong... 
Shouldn't be too much. :-)

I definitly like that. I think people make mistakes and a good tool 
should help them fixing these. Having all possiblities to fix stuff 
right in a command will save people a lot of worries.

So I'll leave my code. I think the pipe command would do and I can 
imagen there are a lot more important things to do.

Best,
