Windows equivalent of this gitk Linux command

From this SO: How to recover a dropped stash in Git?

I would like to convert this Linux command to the Windows equivalent or maybe this is command is syntacially correct for Windows, not sure about the $ and the | :

gitk --all $( git fsck --no-reflog | awk '/dangling commit/ {print $3}' )

I have tried running this cmd on my Windows Git Shell, Powershell and Cmd.exe, with my cd being a git directory, with Cmd.exe:

On Git Shell:

enter image description here

Which gives me the following error:

enter image description here

I have installed gawk: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm

And added C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin to my Path Environment Variables

Here is the Windows PowerShell equivalent:

gitk --all $(git fsck --no-reflog | Select-String "(dangling commit )(.*)" | %{ $_.Line.Split(' ')[2] })

Ok so I had to install gawk/awk: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm

Then I updated my Path Environment Variable: C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\

Then I had to restart my computer to refresh Environment Variables.

Then I could run the gitk cmd, without any changes, works fine on a Windows machine:

gitk --all $( git fsck --no-reflog | awk '/dangling commit/ {print $3}' )

But it has to be in Windows Git Shell, the cmd did not work from Windows cmd.exe.
