Once the project is created, we can create a Pipeline. A Pipeline is a container for a group of Filters which operate on data in a sequence. A Pipeline contains a Source Filter which reads data from a data source (for example, one or more files), and passes it onto the next filter. Each filter performs a specific operation on the data before passing it onto the next. The output from the last filter is either saved to a file, or appears within the console area.

Let us now go ahead and create a File Processor, which is a Pipeline which reads and operates on files. Select "Create -> File Processor" from the main menu.
