No. The different parts of the pipeline starts up independentlyQuote:> echo "$(cat bigfile)" | sed s/foo/bar/ > bigfile # is this

sed 's/foo/bar/' bigfile >bigfile.new
mv bigfile.new bigfile
That's a command less, uses less memory, and is perfectly safe.

I just read in a book that to one way to find out the value of an
enviroment variable is to give it as the argument to echo, preceded
by a $ and surrounded by double quotes, as in echo "$FOO". Why
the quotes? It seems that I get the same results whether I do echo
$FOO or echo "$FOO".
Thanks!
