    | is the symbol your looking for.

    eg: ls | less

    This will pipe the ls command through the less command.

    The command to pipe is pipe "|" without the quotes for example cat hello.txt | grep hello will search the file hello.txt for hello

    Thanks for the laugh.

    Or , lets say your not sure if your friend is logged onto his box or not , you may have to be root to do this. who | grep friend. This searches for the username "friend" that is logged on.
