Thanks. it does work, though, you mean it is working on your machine? Secondly, as you pointed out using pipe we can only redirect stdout. I am interested in some command or bash feature that will let me redirect stderr. (but not the temp file trick)

@Andrew I mean, the command works the way it has been designed to work. It just doesn't work the way you want it to :)

I don't know of any way that can redirect error output of a command to standard input of another. Would be interesting if someone can point that out.
