如何将输出从一个外部进程输送到另一个进程?

我编写了一个函数,它接受所选区域的内容,然后通过两个外部进程运行它。有效地,我想要复制的行为是M-| smartypants -2 | ascii2uni -a D -q

以下函数有效,但需要两次调用call-process-region并暂时将第一个进程的输出存储在缓冲区中。有更好的方法吗?

(defun convert-ascii-to-unicode (&optional b e)
  "Converts ascii punctuation marks (quotes, dashes, and ellipses) into their unicode equivilents."
  (interactive "r")
  (let ((output-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*ASCII to Unicode Output*")))
    (call-process-region b e "smartypants" nil output-buffer nil "-2")
    (set-buffer output-buffer)
    (call-process-region (point-min) (point-max) "ascii2uni" t output-buffer nil "-a" "D" "-q")
    (switch-to-buffer-other-window output-buffer)))

只需在shell命令中进行管道,以下内容应该按照您的要求进行:

(defun convert-ascii-to-unicode (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (shell-command
   (format "smartypants -2 %s | ascii2uni -a D -q"
           (shell-quote-argument (buffer-substring beg end)))))

切换到*Shell Command Output*以查看输出。
