How to use load() function from mongo shell to load a javascript and save result to a file?

Question

Let say I have a java script file "mongo.js" where i print some data from mongoDb to the shell console.It's possible to save that output to a txt file? The js file content:

db = connect("localhost:27017/test");
var cursor=db.test.find();
cursor.forEach(
   function(doc){
       print(doc.name);
   }
);

This is how I execute the file in mongo shell

load("mongo.js")

How to redirect the javascript output to a file? Tried so far:

mongo.exe --quiet mongo.js > file.txt
mongo.js > file.txt

Found a way to do it from terminal:

mongo mongo.js > "path to file"
