The quoting and bracing in bash gets me every time. If you post your comment as answer I'll mark it as correct and give you a vote. | |

I must be misunderstanding your question, but what happens if you replace echo "cat $1 | pv -w 20 -s ${__size}" with just cat $1 | pv -w 20 -s ${__size} in your function definition?
