To input file data as the input for a command in Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt (cmd), you can use the input redirection feature. Here's how you can do it:
- Prepare the input file: Create a text file containing the data that you want to provide as input to the command. For example, let's say you have a file called
input.txt
with the following content:
kotlinThis is the input data.
- Run the command with input redirection: Use the
<
symbol to redirect the contents of the input file as the input for the command. Here's an example using PowerShell and theGet-Content
command to read the input file:
PowerShell:
powershellGet-Content -Path "C:\path\to\input.txt"
Command Prompt (cmd):
shelltype "C:\path\to\input.txt"
Replace "C:\path\to\input.txt"
with the actual path to your input file.
In this example, the Get-Content
command (PowerShell) or type
command (cmd) reads the contents of the input file and displays it as output.
Note: The command you're running must support reading input from the standard input stream (stdin). Not all commands can accept input in this way.
