title: How do I use a pipe to redirect the output of one command to the input of another?
body: <p>I have a program which sends text to an LED sign.</p>
  
  <p>prismcom.exe</p>
  
  <p>To use the program to send "Hello":</p>
  
  <pre><code>prismcom.exe usb Hello
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I wish to, for example use a command program called Temperature.</p>
  
  <pre><code>temperature
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Let's say the program gives your computer's temperature.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Your computer is 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I wish to write the output of temperature to prismcom.exe:</p>
  
  <pre><code>temperature | prismcom.exe usb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This does not seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>Yes, I've looked for a solution to this for more than twenty minutes. In all cases, they are either kludges/hacks or a solution for something besides the Windows command line.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate direction as to how I would pipe the output from temperature to prismcom.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Prismcom has two arguments. The first will always be 'usb'. Anything that comes after that will be displayed on the sign.</p>
