Need answer asap

[john mattucci]

Im not sure if this is the right forum, but I need an answer asap. I jar'd my app now im attempting to launch it. Im running Windows 98
and in msdos i can only see 50 lines at a time, how would i go about redirecting the stream so that i can read all of it. Im not familiar with dos commands so can you be specific
Thank you all

I have tried
java -jar yourjar.jar > standardoutputgoeshere.txt 2> errorsgohere.txt
The two files are created but they are both empty

A more descriptive subject line might net you a better shot at an answer.
hth,

Marilyn knows the answer.
If she doesn't happen by, you could just redirect the System.out and/or System.err print streams to new ones of your choosing ( with System.setOut( PrintStream ) and System.setErr( PrintStream ) ).
Good Luck.

Did you flush your stream?

printStream.flush()

I've usually directed stdout and stderr to the same file with

blahblahblah > junk.out 2>&1

without any problems on Wintel platforms - but I did have an instance where I wasn't seeing my output because I didn't flush the stream.

sorry i know i could have come up with a better title, but in a
moment of panic thats all i thought of. Anyways I figured that problem
now i have another one. If I double click on my .jar im unable to enter any of the JTextFields, the JButton and other items work. Yet if I run the program from dos I can enter the first JTextField and if want to enter the 2nd textfield I have to click to another program and then return to the java program to obtain access to the 2nd field. Any ideas?
Thank you all again for your time
