Pipe second tuple member

Thanks.

Seems using elem as an intermediary is the easiest and dirtiest method of passing specific tuple elements.

File.read(​ *"* ​​ */usr/share/dict/words"* ​)
|> elem(1)
|> String.split()

No error checking or anything then, you might pipe an error value for example, with, the ok library, the exceptional library are all better at that.

There are some hex-packages available that claim to be able to deal with piping :ok tuples, but personally I tend to do one of the following (in order of preference):

• Use with rather than piping
• write a function that extracts the value and also deals with error
• Use an anonymous function in the pipe
• Pipe into elem/2

edit Add elem/2 to the list.
