Re: [MSH] Requires an executable on the RHS of a pipe?

Unfortunately, console redirection is a tricky thing. I can't explain why it doesn't work in cmd.exe (as we don't work on the team,) but I can tell you that it works in Monad :)

[C:\winnt\system32]
MSH:27 > dir | select -first 10 | c:\temp\test.js


Directory: Microsoft.Msh.Core\FileSystem::C:\winnt\system32

Actually, this already works in cmd.exe, as long as the program
supports it.

Hi Lee,

I forgot to mention that there's a longer discussion about this problem
in the following thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.scripting.wsh/browse_frm/thread/fba088728d73eb02/

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
