Save cmd output to a text file...?

#1 Post by mingolito » 22 Jul 2016 06:02

Hi guys I need to redirect output of a *.exe files in a text file, I tried in every possible way but I did not succeed.
If I run the command "Test.exe -h" is correctly displayed in the cmd window, if I try to copy the contents to a text file does not get anything.
This commands without success: :?

Code: Select all

   Test.exe -h > C:\Out.txt   
   Test.exe -h >> C:\Out.txt   
   Test.exe -h 2> C:\Out.txt     
   Test.exe -h 2>> C:\Out.txt 
  (Test.exe -h)2> C:\Out.txt 
   Test.exe -h> C:\Out.txt 
   Test.exe -h &> C:\Out.txt   
   Test.exe -h &>> C:\Out.txt

I hope someone is able to solve the problem.
Thanks..

Seems like the program doesn't write to sdtout or stderr. It could be writing straight to the buffer with e.g. a call to WriteConsoleOutput, in which case you cannot redirect the output.

OK Bro..., work for me any solution that you know to call the command and save the output to a text file.
I also tried it in VB direct the output into a textbox, and I get the same problem.
If you know any other solution that can be adapted to the application, for me I fine. :|

You better have a good explanation as to why my anti-virus is flagging that executable as a TROJAN.

Hmmm... ouch! And here I was, trying to find a solution for mr mingolito. Fortunately I didn't run the program though.

Neither did I. My Anti-Virus picked it up immediately after I downloaded it.

Boys is not a virus, your antivirus can see him as a false positive, I have not posted to give problems or to waste time but to find a solution to the problem.
The files is a compression program "MSC (media streams compressor)".http://krinkels.org/resources/msc-media-streams-compressor.4/

Code: Select all


MSC [media streams compressor] v0.0.6.4 by ProFrager


Special thanks for assistance to kampaster ;)

msc.exe [command] [-options] infile [outfile]

 [commands]:
   c       : default command. It scans and compresses the data. Requires an
             output file.
   s       : it simply scans input file and displays all that was found to
             console. Don't require an output file.
   e       : extracts on the disk all the files that were found. Don't require
             an output file.
   ec      : extracts on the disk only ready for compression files
             (DDS [DXT/RAW], BMP, WAV [PCM], MPEG Layer III) Don't require an
             output file.
   i       : insert files from the disk back into archive. Don't require an
             output file.

 [options]:
  -h, -?   : show this help
  -log=xxx : MSC saves all output also to log file "xxx"

 [options.search_options]:
  -wav=N   : [N=1] disable(0) or enable(1) RIFF WAVE detection
  -raw=N   : [N=0] disable(0),enable(1) or advanced(2) raw audio data detection
             In the options -mp3 and -raw only one can be equal to 2
  -bmp=N   : [N=0] disable(0) or enable(1) BMP detection
  -dds[DXT,RAW]=N : [DXT=1, RAW=0] disable(0) or enable(1) DXT or RAW DDS
             detection
  -mp3=N   : [N=1] disable(0),enable(1) or nonstandart(2) mp3 detection
  -minMP3Frames=N : [N=20] set a minimum number of frames to detect MP3
  -maxMP3Block=N :  [N=1m] If detected size of mp3 is more than specified, the
             file is split into pieces. This is needed to "smooth" unpacking.
  -lzma:x:y:... : sets lzma-weighting compression options (bt4/hc4, lc, lp, pb,
             fb, mc). Used to determine the best result in DXT DDS (-dxt=2) and
             RAW audio (-raw=2). Default values for options:
             bt4:lc3:lp0:pb2:fb32:mc32

 [options.compress_options]:
  -bmf=N[s]: [N=9] compression lvl of bmf packer (1-9). s - optional parameter
             that specifies the enhanced compression level, but greatly reduces
             the processing speed. This option applies only to
             RAW DDS and BMP
  -frog=N  : [N=off] compression lvl of OptimFrog WAVE packer (1-9). Used only
             for PCM WAV and RAW audio.
  -tak=N   : [N=9] compression lvl of TAK WAVE packer (1-9). Available only TAK
             or OptimForg compression, so setting any value one of them results
             to resetting the second. This option applies only to PCM WAV and
             RAW audio
  -dxt=N   : [N=2] disable(0), enable(1) DDS DXT optimization, or
             lzma-weighting(2) model for optimization results.

 [options.size_filter_options]:
  -maxDDS[RAW,DXT,MIP]=N :  set a maximum size of the processed DDS for a
             specific type of operation
  -minDDS[RAW,DXT,MIP]=N :  set a minimum size of the processed DDS for a
             specific type of operation
  -max[BMP,WAV,RAW]=N :  set a maximum size of the processed BMP, WAVE or RAW
             audio file
  -min[BMP,WAV,MP3,RAW]=N :  set a minimum size of the processed BMP, WAVE, MP3
             or RAW audio file
  -f       : [off] disable size filters


 [options.other options]:
  -t=N     : [N=0] number of threads for the compression. 0 - auto;
             1,2 or 4 - points directly to the number of threads
  -v       : [off] detailed messages about all performed operations
  -vv      : [off] displays also information about RAW audio detection

 Examples:

msc.exe -bmf=9 -dxt=1 data.pak data.msc
  msc.exe c -bmf=9s -dxt=2 -lzma=bt4:lc8:fb128 -maxDDSMIP=90kb tex.zip dat.msc
  msc.exe c -bmf=9 -dxt=2 -lzma=hc4,lc8,lp2,pb2,fb128 tex.zip data.msc
  msc.exe c -mp3=2 -tak=5 audio.dat out.msc
  msc.exe s -vv pak01_009.vpk
  msc.exe e -v Codex_BIOGame_S_INT.afc
