If you've ever wanted to capture the output into a file, all you need to do is append this to your command line (without the quotes):
" > x:\file.txt"
" > x:\file.txt"
Nice little tip for the Command Prompt...

That's how I made the playlist files for albums until the ripping software I used added automatic playlist generation

...no, just you.
if you put ".log" at the top of a text file, the next time you open it with notepad it automatically appends the date!
And guess what? If you want to INPUT command lines from a file to a program which asks questions...you can do that too:
format c: /q < y.txt > NULL
If you do that and have a .txt file with y and then hit two returns and save it, it will input that and auto-answer the "Are you sure you want to format" question without any keyboard input. It will then output all of the display the command normally shows to NULL and you will see nothing on the screen.
Definitely sad that so many on here don't know the CLI.
I used to optimize autoexec/config files and then when running memmaker (for those who remember it) it would actually cause more memory to be used instead of less.
Those of us who remember DOS games...and the "not enough memory" errors will know what I am talking about

Command prompt?
Is that like when the Install asks if I want to click the Yes button to confirm the install directory? When it prompots me for an answer? How do you type commands into the buttons??
