Unix/Linux output

[complete]

I am using CGYWIN, the Unix/Linux emulator program on Windows XP. So my question applies to Linux.

How do I get output to go to a file? For instance, in DOS it is > and in VAX/VMS it is usually /output=filename.

I did a "man grep" to get a description (manual) of all the grep options. I see that there is no option for putting the output to a file.

Hi

the syntax is :

Code: Select all

$ command > file

This will redirect the standard output (stdout) to file.

If you want to redirect the standard error (stderr), use this :

Code: Select all

$ command > file 2>&1

1 is stdout and 2 is stderr
