How to output or copy from lc3 console outout into txt file - lc3

How can I save lc3 console output into a .txt file? The console does not let me copy or do anything with its output, please help.

Load the program which produces output that you want to display into LC3 Simulator
Go to File ---> Start Console File...
This will bring up a window that will allow you to choose where you want to save the text file that will contain the output. You can name it anything that you like but be sure to include the .txt extension on the end.
Run the program as usual
When the output that you want to save has successfully been printed to the console go to File ---> End Console File
If you go to the location you specified in step 2 you should now see a text file containing the console output.

Run line of text in terminal from rtf file

If I have some simple text in a .rtf file (called test_file.rtf), how can I run this in terminal?
For example if I have cd Documents/Movies written in this file, I don't want to have to open the file, copy that line, paste it into terminal, then hit enter to get into the Movies folder. I just want to simply 'run' test_file.rtf and then I will be in Movies folder.
Is there a simple way to just call this without loads of ammendments to my setup or to the simple rtf file? Essentially just a word to type in to say 'run this command'?

Command line command order

Today I wanted to get a list of files in a particular directory. The easiest way to accomplish this is to open a prompt and run a
dir > filelist.txt
I assumed that first the 'dir' command runs and then its output is created. It is THEN redirected to the file.
What is interesting however is that the directory listing inside of 'filelist.txt' includes 'fielist.txt' with zero bytes which was not expected.
Once the command completes 'filelist.txt' actually shows as having 450 bytes (when I run a dir without the redirection, same prompt).
1) Why does 'filelist'txt' show up at all?
2) What is the command prompt doing behind the scenes?
I assumed that first the 'dir' command runs and then its output is created.
Where would the output live in the meantime?
The output is by default displayed on the console, almost immediately after being output by the program.
Now if you redirect the output to a file instead, it is written to that file as it would be written to the console: at the moment the program writes the output.
Even when a command has no output, the file is still created. The console first tries to create the requested output file; if that fails, the requested command won't even be executed.

Where to put a .txt file if I want to read it out from the integrated Simulator in Vivado?

I have a text-file I want to read in inside my simulation.vhd file but I do not know where to put it so that the code finds it, since I am not quite sure where it gets executed.
The simulator executes in the .sim folder - but this folder gets reset everytime when you start the simulation. Therefore the .txt file must be outside the sim folder and the the simulation.vhd you need to give a full path to the file like this:
stimuli : process
file infile: text open read_mode is "C:\Users\Name\F\L\lena_sw.txt";

Execute command with windows command line and capture output in rolling file

I have a command line program that produces output that I would like to log to a file.
I know that I can redirect the output of a command (foo.exe for example) to a file using the > operator, but for this current project I need more than just simple output functionality. I would also mention that I can't change any of the code in foo.exe.
I am looking for a command line utility/command that can do the following:
Log the output of a foo.exe to a file
Place a timestamp on each individual output of foo.exe
When the current log file reaches a certain specified size (say 1mb), close the current file and start putting log data in a new file.
In a perfect world the utility would encapsulate the command I wish to execute and log its output, looking something like the following:
log.exe -MaxLogSize=1mb -FileName="FooOutput.log" -Execute="foo.exe"
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

Redirect text file changes to batch file output

I am using a build tool which only writes its output to a text file, and I would like to use that build tool on a build server. The tool is Atmel Studio, and I try to start a build this way.
While the build is running, it writes its result to a text file, then the process of the tool ends.
I would like to have the text file output written to stdout, i.e. I would like the same effect as if the tool would write to the commandline output instead of the text file, in order to see what is going on during the build.
Is there any kind of command on a batch file to achieve this? If not, is there a good alternative?
