cd C:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin g++ -g hello.cpp -o hello -lm start hello.exe I need the results of hello.exe written to text file. Can you help me ?

- Wow, one moment - you are running something in a cygwin folder and run it from a windows cmd.exe? Could it be that you're kind of missing the purpose of cygwin, or is that intentional?Hulk– Hulk2013-08-13 16:27:24 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2013 at 16:27

hello > output.txt 2>&1
will catch both standard output (1) and standard error (2) and send them to output.txt.
A quick Google search on "batch file pipe results to text file" brings you to this page.

If you are on windows, install Cygwin, then the operation
hello > file.txt should work (as posted in the comment)

-1 for turning someone's comment into your answer. Not because it's wrong... but because it's wrong for you to do that.

Also, you don't need cygwin to do that, this one of the few things
cmd.exe is capable of :)

thanks, how do you display the text file on the screen after clicking on the .bat file? this can save me an extra step

on ubuntu its something like cat file.txt (to display it in cmd, if i got you right), I don't know, if that works on windows, but with cygwin it should work

Also, it seems that cygwin is already installed, note the path in the first line ;)
