How do I copy text from my xterm without a mouse?

Question

I want to use part of the output of a command run from the command line in another xterm, or as part of a different command. For instance:

> grep error err         


        

Answer 1

You may send output directly to the concerned xterm using xterm device no. Here is the command.

xyz$ls /home/ankit/documents/etc/x/y/z > /dev/pts/0 

(or watever is the device name, You can get it using command 'w' for opened xterm)

Try it & hope this may solve your problem.
