After playing with Nushell a bit, I think that you would do something like this: rg -0 -il -t java -t go sharded | split-row "\0" | rg -il jobqueue $it Instructing "rg" to use Nul as a separator and where "split-row" acts like xargs. (This only worked after I modified Nushell to recognize "\0" as the Nul separator. It's surprising that this case hasn't come up many times previously, so maybe i just missed the proper way to do it). Edit: Of course, not many filenames contain the newline character embedded in them, so usually this would be fine in an unmodified Nushell: rg -il -t java -t go sharded | lines | rg -il jobqueue $it
