Hello,

this is a real-world situation: I'm working on a text file of some kind,
selected portion of text in active buffer and want to execute external
proces (program.exe), pass selected text to it, capture its output and
replace selected text in buffer with that output.

How can I do that?

Also, I would like to "save" that [something] (execute, feed selection from
buffer to process, catch output, replace selected text) and pin it to
toolbar or context menu.

Tnx!
D
