Chaining commands

Execute several command one after the other

You can execute several command in one prompt.
Separate the cmd with ; Or with && if you don’t want the next cmd to be executed if the previous one fails.

Execute next cmd with output of previous

Command can be chain and pass the output of the previous as argument to the next.
Separate command with |

ls | grep .html

By itself, the pipe take the output of the previous command as one argument.
To break the output into several arg, use xargs.

ls | xargs echo
