There's a thread on this posted just above this one. Here's a function you can put into your profile so that you can pipe into vim too (e.g., "dir c:\ | vim"): function vim ( $path = $null ) { $vimpath = 'C:\Progra~1\Vim\vim71\vim.exe' if ($path -ne $null) {invoke-expression "$vimpath $path"} elseif ( $input.movenext() ) { $input.reset() $input | out-string | out-file "$env:TEMP\vimtempfile.txt" invoke-expression "$vimpath $env:TEMP\vimtempfile.txt" remove-item "$env:TEMP\vimtempfile.txt" } else { invoke-expression "$vimpath" } } Cheers, Jason ------------------------------------------------------ PowerShell Training at SANS Conferences http://www.WindowsPowerShellTraining.com ------------------------------------------------------
