support no-interaction mode about yank HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,
This is not the intended use-case for yank. However, here's a few ideas.

so echo a b | yank -A

You could just use the underlying command yank make use of to copy
directly to the clipboard:

$ echo a b | xsel

Make sure to replace xsel with the correct command based on your
platform.

so echo a b | yank -A 2

In this scenario, I assume you would like to use yank's ability to
extract fields. However, I would suggest using cut(1) or awk(1) if
you already know the which field to copy and the fields are delimited in
a fairly simple manner:

$ echo a b | awk '{print $2}' | xsel
$ echo a b | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | xsel

In more complex situations, for instance: copying the last column on
the second line:

$ printf '1 2 3\n4 5 6\n7 8 9\n' | awk 'NR==2 {print $NF}' | xsel

If the fields are delimited comma and not whitespace:

$ echo '1,2,3' | awk -F, '{print $1}' | xsel

I hope you find the examples useful.

Hi!

Indeed the examples are useful!

My "issue" is probably pure laziness One uses yank and suddenly he found himself repeating the same keystroke sequence. So yes, where xsel + cut/awk is clear choice, yank can serve as proper replacement.

Still, feel free to close the issue as the examples are kick-the-lazy who only wont to pres "up arrow" in terminal ;)

thanx!
