Re: Logging xterm contents to a file.
Well, many people have asked me about the recompilation of vim. Here is how it is done: The souce code looks something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cygdrive/d/xterm-225$ ls 256colres.h XTerm-col.ad fontutils.h ptydata.cvttests 256colres.plXTerm.ad gen-pc-fkeys.pl ptyx.h wcwidth.c 88colres.h aclocal.m4input.c resize.c wcwidth.h 88colres.pl button.c install.sh resize.man xcharmouse.h AAA_README_VMS.txt cachedGCs.c keysym2ucs.c run-tic.sh xstrings.c INSTALL charclass.c keysym2ucs.h screen.c xstrings.h Imakefile charclass.h link_axp.com scrollbar.c xterm.dat MANIFESTcharproc.cmain.c sinstall.sh xterm.h Makefile.in charsets.cmain.h tabs.c xterm.log.html README config.guess make.com tektests xterm.man README.i18n config.submenu.c termcap xterm_axp.opt README.os390configure menu.h terminfo xterm_io.h TekPrsTbl.c configure.in minstall.sh testxmc.cxtermcap.c Tekparse.defctlseqs.msmisc.c trace.c xtermcap.h Tekparse.h ctlseqs.txt mkdirs.shtrace.h xtermcfg.hin Tekproc.c cursor.c os2main.cunicode xutf8.c Tests data.cplink.sh util.c xutf8.h UXTerm.ad data.hprecompose.c uxterm VTPrsTbl.c doublechr.c precompose.h version.h VTparse.def error.h print.c vms.c VTparse.h fontutils.c proto.h vms.h Issue following commands: $ ./configure --prefix=/home/mkudsi/bin --enable-logging --enable-toolbar $ make This would generate a file xterm.exe.

Re: Logging xterm contents to a file.
I recompiled with the --enable-logging option and it has started working!!! Thanks for the inputs.

Re: Logging xterm contents to a file.
Well, to confirm, I didn't want to print contents of a single screen but everything which comes to the screen once I start the "log to file"... I hope recompiling xterm with --enable-logging would resolve this issue...

Do we have a similar option for an xterm window in Cygwin? You should be able to setup a printer, use that to print a screen (though I've only tested it on Linux, Cygwin is "supposed" to work). It can be just a shell script that redirects its output to a file. See the "printerXXX" resources in xterm's manpage. http://invisible-island.net/xterm/manpage/xterm.html -- Thomas E.

Logging xterm contents to a file.
Hi, Really dumb question. but hope somebody replies to this one? Is it possible to save the entire contents of a xterm window into a file? (using anything other than "script") e.g. for a putty window, we have an option of logging all the contents of the putty window into a file just by doing a right click and giving the file name and path in the properties window. Do we have a similar option for an xterm window in Cygwin?
