reading contents of a cmd window? experts required

I currently run a java class via mirc, like this:

RUN java SomeJavaClass param1 param2etc

how can i get the contents of the cmd window? as the java program just prints the output to the window via System.out.println(...)

You should be able to pipe the output into a file:

Code:


/run command param1 param2 param3 > output.txt

(untested)

I wanted to avoid writing contents to text files and then reading from text files. But if there is no other way then I guess I have to do it like that.

Nope that didn't seem to work, couldnt get it to output into the file.

My curent dirty workaround is having the java class write the contents to a textfile. and then when i make mirc run the command, i read the textfile after 1 second

Code:

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String outputFile = args[0], challenge = args[1];
		String response = generateChallenge(challenge);
		
		System.out.println(response);
		
		FileOutputStream fout;
		
		try
		{
		    fout = new FileOutputStream (outputFile);
		    new PrintStream(fout).println (response);
		    fout.close();		
		}
		catch (IOException e)
		{
		}
	}

notice my run command uses a java class.. so your run command you posted would make > output.txt - my java class would think they are parameters which is not what i want
