I'm confused of what this above line does.
What does the cat list.txt do the java os.mindyph $1 ?

What is piped to list2.txt ?

thanks a million

It feeds the contents of the list.txt file as standard input to the java
command. $1 is replaced by the first command-line argument to the script
that the line appears in.

Quote:>What is piped to list2.txt ?

The output of the java command.
