I want to redirect the output of some Windows program directly to gvim basically for searching the output. Say for example the result of findstr cmd. Is it possible to do this without dumping it to a file and subsequently loading that file in gvim?

    sure:

    dir | gvim -

    the - option tells vim to open stdin

    This works for Windows and Linux versions.
