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:

  1. Make a batch file with the following lines: 
dir | sort
@pause
  1. Save your file without any formatting (Plain text).
  2. 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.
