This is difficult to parse as the < ... > look like brackets, which I assume they are not. A space between the < and the ( might help?

This is not working for me. echo HOME=\"/g/Users/timregan/\" | cat - 'F:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile' works but cat <echo HOME=\"/g/Users/timregan/\" 'F:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile' gives the error "echo: No such file or directory"

@dumbledad You are overthinking my reply. There is nothing for you to parse in it. A space between the < and the ( would break the syntax. Try cat <(echo HOME=\"/g/Users/timregan/\") 'F:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile'
