2-14 ROM-DOS 6.22 User Manual 7/9/98
When this is added at the end of the command line, ROM-DOS begins
to receive its instructions from the named file.
CAUTION
If input redirection is used and the input file is incomplete,
the system hangs waiting for instructions from the input file
and does not accept keystroke information from the keyboard
(except for to reboot).
Output Redirection
The syntax for redirecting output to a file is:
>
filespec
When this is added to the end of the command line, standard output is
temporarily directed to the file named in the filespec. If the named file
already exists, its contents are replaced with the ROM-DOS function's
output. Otherwise, a new file is created to hold the output. Output can
also be redirected to a device such as PRN (the printer).
To append output to the receiving file, rather than replace its contents,
the double right arrow (>>) is used:
>>
filespec
This adds the ROM-DOS function's output after the existing contents of
the named file. If the named file does not exist, ROM-DOS creates the
file.
Example
Suppose you wanted to save a list of the current directory into a file.
Normally, the command:
DIR
displays the directory list on your monitor.
