Conditional symboles and the compatibility issues they cause
Command line Serial Communications
NT allows the selective redirection of the standard input (stdin), standard
output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) files by reference to their file
handles: 0 = stdin, 1 = stdout, 2 = stderr. A command such as
SAMPLE.CMD >SAMPLE.LOG
works as it did under MS-DOS, capturing all output that SAMPLE.CMD writes
to the stdout file. In Windows NT, you could also use the following
equivalent:
SAMPLE.CMD 1>SAMPLE.LOG
However, most programs send their most important diagnostic information to
the standard error file, rather than standard output. To capture both stdout
and stderr, you could use:
SAMPLE.CMD 1>SAMPOUT.LOG 2>SAMPERR.LOG
To capture both stdout and stderr to the same file, redirect stderr
to the stdout file handle:
SAMPLE.CMD 1>SAMPLE.LOG 2>&1
This is probably most useful in scheduled tasks.
This syntax can lead to misinterpretation when the command being redirected
ends with a number. For example:
echo test 2>test.txt
Will actually echo "test" to the console and create an empty test.txt file.
To compensate, surround the command in ()
(echo test 2)>test.txt
or place the destination first
>test.txt echo test 2
