   echo abc | EchoThePipe.bat   
      
   the output should be "abc".   
      
   I want to take the text sent to the pipe and place   
   it into a variable so I can work on it.   
      
   Here is an example from bash script:L   
      
   $ ls  | grep wine   
   wine   
      
   $ ls -a  | grep wine   
   wine   
   .wine   
   .wine.10-16-2015   
   .wine.backup   
   .wine.smartsuite   
   .winetmp   
   .winetrickscache
