Redirecting Output

You can redirect the output of most Prism commands to a file by including an at sign (@) followed by the name of the file on the command line. For example,

where @ where.output

puts the output of a where command into the file where.output in your current working directory within Prism.

You can also redirect output of a command to a window by using the syntax commandname on window, where window can be

• command (abbreviated com). commandname on command sends output to the command window; it is the default.

• dedicated (abbreviated ded). commandname on ded sends output to a window dedicated to output for this command. If you subsequently issue the same command (no matter what its arguments) and specify that output is to be sent to the dedicated window, this window will be updated.

• snapshot (abbreviated sna). commandname on snapshot creates a window that provides a snapshot of the output. If you subsequently issue the same command and specify that output is to be sent to the snapshot window, Prism creates a separate window for the new output. The time each window was created is shown in its title. Snapshot windows let you save and compare outputs.

• You can also make up your own name for the window. You can then issue a command using your window name, for example: commandname on myname. The name myname will appear in the title of the window.
