the following command starts the C++ application in new command window with process affinity set to 0xF.
start /affinity F test.ext arg1 arg2
But the above command opens a new cmd window and closes immediately when test.exe ends. I tried the following to get output but it doesn't do anything.
start /affinity F test.ext arg1 arg2 ^> out.txt
I appreciate if you know how to do this on powershell.
Thanks
The PowerShell redirection operators are as follows, where n represents the stream number. The Success stream ( 1 ) is the default if no stream is specified.
Operator Description
Syntax
> Send specified stream to a file. n>
>> Append specified stream to a file. n>>
>&1 Redirects the specified stream to the Success stream. n>&1
# Examples
# Example 1: Redirect errors and output to a file
dir 'C:\', 'fakepath' 2>&1 > .\dir.log
This example runs dir on one item that will succeed, and one that will error.
It uses 2>&1 to redirect the Error stream to the Success stream, and > to send the resultant Success stream to a file called dir.log
# Example 2: Send all Success stream data to a file
.\script.ps1 > script.log
This command sends all Success stream data to a file called script.log
