how to store errors in.....

[Ashish Agnihotri]

Hi,
How can I store the errors from the javac compiler in a DOS file ?
the normal redirection does not work....
... please write exact DOS command ( errors to go in a txt file ). I am using JDK 1.3
thanks in advance,
Ashish

There is no DOS command that can help you when you are using jdk 1.3.

Ashish,
I use the editor text pad for editing the .java files. Evaluation copy is downloadable at www.textpad.com
You can configure text pad so that the javac compiler can be called from within the textpad.
Go to preferences in configure menu of textpad, point to javac and add it on to the tools. Once it is added javac will be available in the tools menu and you can compile the .java code from within textpad.
The errors returned by javac compiler will appear in a separate window called "command results" in the text pad which can be saved in text format.
This way you can log your errors. (Though not a dos command!!)
Hope this helps.
Kalidas.

I know that DOS supports the redirection of stdout and stdin, but I don't know that you can redirect stderr. I have been told that javac output is done through stderr, and that is why standard DOS redirection (command > file.txt) doesn't work.
