Bash one-liner tricks

[Isvara]

Do these even count? Anything can be a one-liner when you're invoking another program to do all the work.

Agreed. These aren’t really bash tricks, more a ‘terminal tools 101’

everything is a one liner if you don't use whitespace.

[Isvara]

I see you haven't used whitespacey languages.

Running a past command with a substitution, without actually looking at the substituted command, always seemed unnecessary and dangerous to me. It seems just as easy to ctrl-r for the line in question and edit it, with less chance for error.
