Hi, This is what I put in my batch file:
test.bat -------- setlocal c: cd C:\temp c:\temp>c:\program\runme.exe c:\temp\filename printer Then from the command prompt I did: C:\temp>test.bat > output.txt The programs run just fine. The program displays the processing to the screen. When I open the file output.txt this is what it contains: C:\temp>setlocal C:\temp>c: C:\temp>cd c:\temp c:\temp>c:\program\runme.exe c:\temp\filename printer I don't know whats going on. The output.txt file should contain the output thats dumped to the screen but it doesn't. The executable file is a Perl script which was compiled to a .exe file. Could there be something in the Perl script thats stopping the output to a file? Its works to the screen so I can't figure out whats happening. Any ideas? > >The bat file seem to be working exactly as you tell them to. > >In the instance below, when you are calling the exe directly, you are >rerouting the screen output to the p.log file. > >It is routing the ouput of the runme command to the log file. > >In the CFExecute example you posted earlier, you are routing the output >from the BAT file to the log file.
