Can I run a command within another command for example:
twidge update date
datebeing the bash commanddateso effectively,twidgewill update twitter with today’s date.twidgeis a CLI based twitter client.
Answer
You can try escaping the command like so
twidge update "$(date)"
Which will execute date and concatenate the output of the command into the twidge command.
According to the twidge help info
You can also omit the status, in which case a single line will be read
from stdin and taken as your update. Example:
date | twidge update
Just pipe the command to twidge via stdin.
