Yes, just read it :)

TextMate will provide you with data on the pipe roughly as fast as  
you can read it, so there should be no fear of “blocking” -- and if  
there was, I don’t see how that could be avoided if your command  
actually needs the data.

Could you be more specific about what the problem is, if there is  
one? I.e. what command are you writing.
