moar not able to pipe multiple filename

[ciscohack]

If trying to pipe multiple files with moar then it fails to parse the multiple files and throw error

moar core.txt asa.txt | ug 'down' | ug 'flap'

ERROR: Expected exactly one filename, or data piped from stdin

What was your expectation in this case?

[ciscohack]

@walles expectation is moar should parse these 2 files and then grep the keyword I am trying to look at... I can do the same with BAT

[ciscohack]

@walles you are awesome my friend . just one last query on this.. I hope when we run moar file1 file2 file3 | grep 'keyword'

it will show the filename in header to tell output is pulled form which file

[postsolar]

I'm just curious, why not use ug regex file1 file2 directly? It prints the filename as well. Works with grep, rg and ug.

[ciscohack]

@postsolar yes you can use ug but i have some use case with moar to read filed then use grep to filter out needy data

I hope when we run moar file1 file2 file3 | grep 'keyword'

Not possible. Even if moar would contaminate its output with headers, grep likely wouldn't match those so you wouldn't see them anyway.

@postsolar's suggestion would work though, and that's how this is generally done: ug regex file1 file2 file3

@walles that is ok.. lets moar have the capability to parse multiple files

[ciscohack]

@walles is this code "https://github.com/walles/moar/commit/f4af673d3c22e8435f51ee384ae7c67168bf4d38" committed. I didn't get an update yet.

[walles]

I have now made releases, latest is v1.23.3, and that one has your multiple-files thingy in it.

@walles ok thank you so much
