Commands

Commands do the actual work you need done in the pipeline.  They have a very simple syntax that does not really require much in the way of knowledge to use them.

The exception to this are the Exec and Run commands which are used to run external command line applications to perform actions. For these commands you will still not need to know anything more for the command itself, but you will need to know the command line syntax for the application you intend to execute. This is of course entirely down to the tool that you are proposing to use and is outside the scope of this topic.

Command Syntax

The Command syntax is really simple.  You put the command name, followed by a colon, and then any required parameters. Here is a simple example for a Delete File command:

DeleteFile:C:\Temp\TestFile.txt
