Did you try the pipe operator | ? The command you wrote as an example uses output redirection, close but not exactly the same.
To use the output of prog 2 as standard input (console input) to prog1, you would say prog1 < prog2 To sent the output of prog1 to a file or other device prog1 > prog1output.txt To use the output of one program as the input to another dir | more (that takes a directory listing and runs it through the more utility which only shows you one screen of data at a time) For more details on CMD usage go to Start -> Help.
