I tried spam.spam which just takes args like spam.spam file1 file2 file3, etc. I've tried your number 2 piped into spam.spam, and spam.spam piped into your number 2, neither worked. It works if I run your number 2 then copy and paste after spam.spam. This will work for now, I'd like it so that I could just run one file... But right now don't have much time.
