osx | command not found

OS-X-Mountain-Lion-logoEver since I started using OSX, occasionally I got ”command not found” when piping in in the shell.

For instance, running:

$ dmesg | grep sda

would spit out a ”grep command not found” error.

It got to the point to where I by default always when typing a | i would delete the space after and enter a space again. Annoying.

However, today I found the solution to the ”problem”.

Simply add this line to your ~/.inputrc to translate non-breaking spaces to regular spaces. Which was what caused the mishap in the first place.

"\xC2\xA0": " "

You should note that this does not happen if you type really slow.

Anyway, here’s the thread where I found the solution!
