the "mate" command-line tool is great, but i find myself also wishing
that i had some way to pipe input into a textmate html window, e.g.
rather than
long_running_command | mate
which waits until the command is completed, and then throws the
output in an editable text window, i'd like to be able to say
long_running_command | pre | mate -html
and get a continuously-updated, non-editable window (with the option
of adding javascript and formatting).
i could see how to hack this up myself if there were a way to
initiate a textmate command from outside textmate (i.e. provide
stdin, a command line, and one of the standard output choices
(arguably only "show as html", "show as tool tip", and "create new
document" would really make sense)) -- but i couldn't see how to do
this (i'm no applescript wizard, but i poked through the scripting
dictionary).
is there some trick here i'm missing? if not, consider this a
feature request...
