How do I use a pipe to redirect the output of one command to the input of another?

Question

I have a program which sends text to an LED sign.

prismcom.exe

To use the program to send \"Hello\":

prismcom.exe usb Hello

Answer 1

You can also run exactly same command at Cmd.exe command-line using PowerShell. I'd go with this approach for simplicity...

C:\>PowerShell -Command "temperature | prismcom.exe usb"

You can also type in C:\>PowerShell at the command-line and it'll put you in PS C:\> mode instanctly, where you can directly start writing PS.
