Somebody know how can I capture the screen output generated from dos app to file.
I need to access some info. This info is generated only for a dos application and this app is like the TYPE command. When I execute the app this show me the info just to screen. I would like to send this info to file for later access it.
Something like the ">" dos switch (example: dir > file.txt).

I think you just want the text that is displayed on screen sent to a text file? This is done as follows: If you would enter PROGNAME to start the program, enter PROGNAME>OUTPUT.TXT to store the output as the file OUPUT.TXT.
This will send all the text that would have gone to the screen to the text file instead. The disadvantage is if the program displays a menu, etc requiring a response from you, you won't see the text, so you'd have to work from memory and press any required keys.
Also, if the output of the program is in graphical form, this will not work.
