file convert command as plugin

[woncheol-kim]

Hi, I've tried following command as plugin:

t:-!|ebook-convert $nnn $nnn.mobi

And I've got an error message like this:

Cannot read from (Current_Directory)/$nnn

ebook-convert is a CLI tool packaged with Calibre and what I actually want to do is like this:

ebook-convert sourcefile.txt sourcefile.mobi

What can I do to make it work properly?

Not sitting infront of a computer, but I dont remember if nnn gives arguments to the plugins.

you need to write a script to wrap the arguments to your liking

With the | (indicator to page non-interactive command output) removed, I could use the following:

c:!cp "$nnn" "$nnn".cp*

I have updated the documentation accordingly.

Multiple arguments can be passed and variables can be used (including double-quoted ones) for all cases except running GUI app as plugin and paging the output of non-interactive commands.
