You can always let it just output to the terminal, then highlight it, then middle click in a text editor, like vi. -mike On Mon, 9 Nov 1998, Stuart Updegrave (Wasser) wrote:
Is there a way to copy text from a terminal screen into a file? I've got what appears to be a corrupted SuSE 5.3 boot disk, and I want to capture the text that displays when I try to mount it so that I can send to SuSE support.
I've tried redirecting the output in various ways (note, these may not be entirely correct, as I'm pretty new to Linux):
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy > err mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 2> err mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy >& err
From my reading I gathered that one of these three options would redirect the output to the file 'err'.
A thought: could I pipe the output from mount into vi? (I'm not at my Linux box now, so I can't try this)
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy | vi
My current config is RH5.0 on an AMD 486-133/16mb RAM/4.2gb HD.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
