In "printer preferences" gui you have a printer type FILE Clicking on the driver options you get a requester File Printer options " notably with choice clipboard/File I can't make anything happen when selecting this printer type and trying to print something from say Notepad. Is there...

I did find a solution to my immediate problem : as i can set & reset from within a GUI4Cli script the output console with set OUTPUT con:... i dropped the idea of redirecting the output to a file(directly) and replaced it with manipulation of the console addressing the console with WTF & wit...

@tonyw I think you want the "Reassign" command of DEC's RSX-11 (or was it "Redirect"?), whereby you could reassign output or input from one device or file to another at any time. Exactly! Why would it be a problem to redirect straight stdout output to an other device on the fly? ...

@ssolie Are you trying to print a file from CLI or something? No not at all I was able to manipulate Gui4Cl'is debug output or the output of any application to stdout, reidrecting it to a file (or the printer - i donthave one working ) using CMD .

@tinyw The U-Boot "stdin" and "stdout" are only for the U-Boot CLI streams, and hence only work while U-Boot is running. They don't affect anything in OS4. I appreciated that, as stdout to vga definitely is not what stdout in OS4 is about. I just suggested that providing (setting...

I remember having used CMD a lot for switching some stdout or stderror channel to a file, to catch more easily some produced info. The normal CLI redirection (>) canno...

@broadblues perhaps add an option to dump debug to file directly? That was the intention, but wanted to test first if what i intended it for could be done, or at least to what extend However i did hit this page http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_Manual:_Workbench_Other_Programs it mentionas a tool...

I was able to do redirect Gui4CLI's debug ouput to a file
using the CMD tool/Command
CLI ' run cmd parallel t:G4debug opt n'
Would printer.device allow it too?
I would prefer an OS4 replacement to CMD of course.

Is there a replacement for the CMD tool, that has been with us till OS3.9 (crashes here) ?
