I have pattern:



"test"      https://an_url_here


I try to use fzf and bind ^m to open w3m with https://an_url_here, below grep command and xargs work perfectly with the above output on command line but when mix with fzf it doesn't work and no error output, check with w3m it's empty url:



"test"      https://an_url_here | fzf --height=20% --ansi --no-sort --reverse --tiebreak=index --bind "ctrl-m:execute: (grep -o 'http.*$' | xargs w3m)"


it works if I test with:



  "test"      https://an_url_here | grep -o 'http.*$' | xargs w3m
