${dir}

$ ${dir} | findstr "${query}"

This command is a combination of two commands in Windows command prompt. Here's an explanation of each part:

${dir}: This is a variable which usually contains a directory path. It is enclosed within ${} for variable expansion. Essentially, the value stored in the dir variable is being used in this command.
|: This is a pipe operator that sends the output of the previous command as the input to the next command.
findstr: This is a command used to search for specific strings or patterns in a given text or file.
"${query}": This is another variable, likely containing a search query or string. It is enclosed within "" for proper handling of special characters.

Combining all the parts, the command will execute the dir command and then pipe its output to the findstr command. The findstr command will search for the specified query within the directory listing obtained from the dir command.
