    input output redirection

    Hi
    I have a file.txt which is in my documents , How can I redirect the output of that file using CMD to another file namely file2.txt .

    The c program that I wrote is working but I do not know how to use input/output redirection.
    My project is saved in documents\projects and my file is in my documents what should I type or how to change the path for it to work?
    Thanks.

    You're on Windows, right?

    Where is the output of the program going, now?

    If your program is "hard coded" and writing to one filename only, then I don't believe you can redirect that output to another file.

    If your program is writing it's output to the stdout (the screen usually), then it's easy to redirect the output to a file, using a terminal window (text window):

    myProgramsName >fileNameYouWant (and hit enter key)

    Is that what you wanted? I am unclear what "the output" of a text file, IS.
