Raspberry Pi Linux LESSON 13: Using the Linux Pipe Command

This lesson shows how to use Linux pipes. A pipe takes the output from one command and sends it as the input to another command. Pipes are one of the really powerful tools in Linux.

Wow Mr.McWorther, this is a beaugtiful command, allowing multiple functions at once, I can see so many uses for it.

Hi, I have been watching this series and I must say you are a great teacher. Your explanations are simple enough, yet makes sense and my learning curve is really there thanks to you. Much appreciated. I recently purchased few raspis 4b for a few projects I have in mind and one of them is to learn linux. Thank you for helping me achieving my goal 😊 P. S. I am from the Czech republic in Europe, so I guess you can be pleased by the fact your audience is really world-wide 😀

I guess that cat <filename>|sort only sorts the output of the cat command and does not sort the file itself
You are a good teacher. I am watching the series in chronological order.
Keep up the good work

I do not get this, in 3:43 you type cat ~/my_stuff/my_dogs with no .txt at the end and cat still returs you the contents of the txt file. My Raspiban returned an error if I do it with no .txt at the end.
