Since I can't seem to find any reference to this and it has been very helpful to me, I thought I might share.

The second pipe was interpreted by this web site when submitted    You need two backslashes at the beginning  So make sure to use System IO Directory GetFiles       pipe      Note that I have seen this function call throw an  illegal characters in path   exception when one of the pipes on my machine had invalid characters  PipleList exe worked ok though  so it seems like a bug in MS s  net code
