Command block “|” pipe statement

In Minecraft it is impossible to accurately get the "numbers of blocks filled, amount of blocks that match a quarry, number off entities that are nearby, etc". That's because storing a number and doing the action are 2 separate commands. Most programming language solved this by using a "I" pipe statement which means that the first command will be executed with the results of the second command for instance: “/say | fill 0 0 0 4 4 4 dirt”. Which will fill 128 blocks and then execute the command “/say 128”. I hope this will get implemented in some sort a way since it would truly change the way people will write command and opens up a a new door of possibilities

    /gamerule sendcommandfeedback false
    it will give you the data on the command you just used, such as “filled 128 blocks”

    JimTJones, that's really not what he means. Read it again. Also, it would be /gamerule sendcommandfeedback true, not false.

    this is a great idea. 

    plus, the addition of non-scoreboard variables and getting values from commands and putting them into a variable

    This is already possible using the following commands in Java Edition:

    /execute store result FakePlayer myObjective run fill 0 0 0 4 4 4 dirt
/tellraw @a {"score":{"name":"FakePlayer","objective":"myObjective"}}

    In Bedrock Edition, I would advocate for getting the /stats command added to Bedrock Edition.
