Ability to execute different commands on multiple selectors

[tathastu871]

Eg.
curl 'example.com' | pup 'a, td'
But if i need to reformat the output selectively using linux commands like sed awk tr etc.

curl example.com | pup 'a (command to execute on 'a' tags, td (command to execute on 'td' tags)
Just like tee and pee from moreutils of linux.

Pup will extract the multiple selector and pipe it to defined command. and finally pipe the formatted output of all selectors to stdout

Please reply.
It is highly needed because if user wants to parse two selectors and selectively format the output of each selector.

It prevents the crawling of same site two times for two selectors

Have you considered just dumping the output of curl to a temp file, and running pup off that instead?

curl -o /tmp/example.html example.com
pup 'a (command to execute)' < /tmp/example.html
pup 'td (command to execute)' < /tmp/example.html

Much easier than waiting for a feature that will most likely never come, given that this project has outstanding PRs going back four years: https://github.com/ericchiang/pup/pulls

curl site | tee >(pup a | command) >(pup td | command)
