In vim, assume :r!ls | grep foo is in the register l.
You can then do: @l to exec ls | grep foo and insert the contents matching foo in to the current buffer.
In evil-mode I get:
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
Is this a bug, or a setting I'm missing?
That's one of the many unimplemented Ex features in Evil. There's nothing you're overlooking, except maybe a chance to contribute it.
