Here is a neat OSX Terminal tip. You can pipe command line output to the system clipboard by using the pbcopy command. To see it in use, open Terminal then type:
ls -al | pbcopy
Then open your favorite text editor and press command-v. The output from the command you typed is now pasted into your text document! I should do more of these since so many OS X users are unfamiliar and perhaps even a little intimidated by using Terminal, which is unfortunate because there are so many interesting little bits of functionality accessible to you in Terminal if you will just take the plunge.
