Redirecting Command-Line Output to Files

When using the command line, you can redirect standard output and standard error into separate files or into a single file. How you redirect command-line output depends on which operating system you are using:

• On Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 systems, to place standard output into file one.out and standard error into file two.out, type the df command (with its filenames and options) as follows:

    df filenames /options 1>one.out 2>two.out
  

  You can also use a short-cut form (omit the 1):

    df filenames /options >one.out 2>two.out
  

  To place standard output and standard error into a single file both.out on a Windows NT 4 or Windows 2000 system, type the df command as follows:

    df filenames /options 1>both.out 2>&1
  

  You can also use a short-cut form (omit the 1):

    df filenames /options >both.out 2>&1
  

• On Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 95 systems, use the EC command-line tool to place standard output and standard error into separate files or into a single file. The EC tool is located on the Visual Fortran CD-ROM in the x86\Usupport\Misc\Win95 folder. Copy ec.exe into a folder in your command-line path (PATH environment variable) on your hard disk.

  Precede the DF command line with the EC command and place the entire DF command in quotes. For example, to place standard output into the file one.out and standard error into file two.out, type the EC and DF command (with its filenames and options) as follows:

    ec "df filenames /options 1>one.out 2>two.out"
  

  To place standard output and standard error into a single file both.out on a Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 95 system, type the EC and DF commands as follows:

     ec "df filenames /options 1>both.out 2>&1"
