cmd.exe output too long

[biagiorea]

hi this is my 1st post in dostips.com/forum, yahoo

mysqldbcompare.exe is a mysql utility
you can run mysqldbcompare on win cmd.exe
eg
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Utilities>mysqldbcompare --server1=root@localhost db_vtigercrm60_01:db_vtigercrm60_01copy --difftype=sql --run-all-tests

<mysqldbcompare output>

but if mysqldbcompare output is too long, I can read only the last part, instead the first part of the output is no longer visible,
how can I do to display the full output ?
maybe cmd.exe can set to increase buffer to display long output?
maybe into a .bat file I can run mysqldbcompare and put the output into a log file?
thanks for replies

Yes, you can do that. This is how to do it in a batch file.

Code: Select all

>file.log "c:\folder\command.exe" parameters

The >file.log can be placed at the end of the line, when the last item is not a numeral or contains a numeral. Placing it at the start is better in this respect.

To append information to a log then use >> instead of just >

You can also "pipe" the command to more.
For example, the command

Code: Select all

ipconfig /all

outputs more than a single page of output. Piping to more makes it display one page at a time. This command piped to more would look like this:

Code: Select all

ipconfig /all| more

The line is made by pressing shift+backslash (shft+\)
