I didn't know where to ask this, so here it is.
Even when running Windows 8.1, I occasionally need to do something in DOS. (the old Disk Operating System that pre-dated Windows)
Yesterday, I needed to find a file on my HD (SSD) so I tried the Windows Search command....to no avail. Typical!
So in desperation, I opened a Command Prompt and used the DOS "Dir" command to find the file, and it did. But the path was long and I wanted to send it to a text file in the root directory of C:. Years ago, I knew how to do that, but yesterday I could not remember the syntax.
So I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to do that RE-Direct of the output of a command, from the screen to a .txt file, in DOS?
Help! Help!
