If I evoke a console program - call it "foo.exe" from the command line, and it outputs string-based data, is there a DOS command (or a series of batch file commands) to pipeline this string output to a .txt file? For instance, foo.exe takes a single parameter: the name/url of a .qfx file: C:\> foo C:\apps\widget\whatev.qfx The output of which might be: Hello, foo! Today is a lovely day! What I am looking for is a way to simply "automate" foo's output such that it is sent to (and saved to) a Notepad (.txt) file. Would it be *something* as simple as: C:\> foo C:\apps\widget\whatev.qfx | output.txt ?? hopefully I can avoid getting into make files and batch files...
