How do I pipe output into Visual Studio Code?

Question

I want to pipe the output of a command into a new text window in Visual Studio Code.

Normally, I'd do something like this:

echo foo | code 

...but that appears to not work; Visual Studio Code launches, but it does not display the input. Is there a way to do piping on the command line?

Answer 1

Since version 1.19.1, you can pipe your output to the current window by invoking:

<command> | code -

If you are using version 1.19 or earlier, you don't need the arg:

<command> | code
