    Post saving output of c as a txt file

    My project involves writing a c program to generate a set of 70 decimal numbers. I want to save the output (these 70 numbers) as a txt file. I tried the following:

    1. prt scr of output screen and pasting it in notepad. NOT WORKING
    2. going to DOS SHELL and doing the following:
    c:\TC\BIN>output.exe>>output.txt
    NOT WORKING. Text file is generated, but it does not contain output. It just says:
    illegal command: output.exe

    What do I do?

    Thanks

    Why don't you just write to a file if that is what the true endpoint of the program is? Take a look at C File I/O Tutorial - Cprogramming.com
