Help me?

[correlcj]

Hello there,
I have the following code which is called dbl_out. I need to redirect this to the file temp. I understand that if i write dbl_out.exe < temp it should copy it there but i dont know if i am doing it right. After i compile it using the visual C++ software what do i go from here. Do i have to bring up the msdos prompt and type in dbl_out.exe>temp or can i do it in visual C++ once i hit run.
HELP?


#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
char c;
while (scanf("%c", &c) ==1) {
printf("%c", c);
printf("%c",c);
}
return 0;
}

Just get to a DOS prompt, go to your programs directory and do
c:\>myprog.exe >outfile.txt

I did what you said and my dos prompt replied as:
not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
What up with that?

As long as the program is compiled, and does actually exist as an exe in the current directory, your error message probably just means your path isn't setup correctly. Although, on my Win98, the OS searches the current directory by default anyway.

You can always change the path to include the current directory by doing:
>PATH=.;"%PATH%"

I think thats my problem is that its not an .exe. So how would i go about making it one hammer!

I'm not hammer, but it might help to compile and link your program into an executable. Then just run it with a redirection from the command line as Hammer suggested.
