Pipe
The Pipe operator | takes the output of one command and directs it into the input of another command.
The following commands sort a directory alphabetically, then pause:
- Make a batch file with the following lines:
dir | sort @pause
- Save your file without any formatting (Plain text).
- Double click your .bat file to execute the commands.
Remember: Don't edit the batch file while it's running. You can get unexpected errors that way.
