Is there a way for macro command to add in the '|' operator as well inside the macro itself?

[Sripadvallabh]

I just have some thoughts to create a macro along with the pipe operator like this:
macro create intdown nx | awk '$5=="down" || $6=="down"{print $0}'
but the pipe operator is taken as a pipe to the macro command itself i guess.

Is there a way to do it? i just want to store the awk inside the macro as well

Yes, when you define the macro, quote pipes and redirection characters that are part of the definition.
You can get pretty detailed help by typing help macro create.

Also, see the docs.

Thanks a lot kevin. Appreciate your quick responses. I have been more than pleased to work with you.

Acutally i was going much through the documentation PDF rather than the help commands. And it seems to be an older version i guess. Thanks.
