"pipe" won't work ...

[Guest RJK]

....in a CMD box I type:-

 

ipconfig /all > c:\documents and Settings\Richard\ipconfig.txt

....and it never arrives there !

 

any clues ?

 

TIA

 

regards, Richard

Re: "pipe" won't work ...

 

...forget it, piped output went to C:\ okay !

 

I was just about to start fiddling with real dos 8.3 file/directory names

but, gave it one last shot at dumping the output into my boot drive

root-directory, and it worked !!

 

regards, Richard

You might want to surround it with double quotes (see below).

 

ipconfig /all > "c:\documents and Settings\Richard\ipconfig.txt"

| is pipe

 

< , > and >> is redirecting

 

and "s must be used when spaces are involved in the path or file name.

Sorry but "|" has always been the pipe symbol. For filtering the output

of commands. Like DIR | MORE , try it to see it work.
