[SOLVED] Run application using prime-run though dmenu
I'm trying to pipe the command I selected in dmenu to prime-run using this:
dmenu_path | dmenu "$@" | prime-run but it isn't working, instead it seems to run prime-run on its own without any input, does prime run not support piping? I'm still new to this so can anybody help me find a solution?

dmenu_path | dmenu "$@" | xargs prime-run
prime-run $(dmenu_path | dmenu "$@")

Of course they do ;-)
