Does anybody know any alternative way to save output result of a program into another new file?
I got try the command below:

[home]program_used input_file > new_output_file
[home]program_used input_file >> new_output_file

Unfortunately, both the ">" and ">>" is not work at this case to save the output result file.
The "program_used" is a binary file as well. Thus unable to edit its contents :frowning:
My purpose just want to save the output result of "program_used" into another "new_output_file".
Thanks for any advice to archive my desired goal.

Does following giving you any output on the screen :

[home]program_used input_file 
[home]program_used input_file

because ">" and ">>" will redirect the very same output which you get on your screen to the new_output_file.If after running the above program you are not getting any output on your screen then you can't redirect it to new_output_file.Then in that case you need to use different method.
Pl let us know...

[home]program_used input_file

The above command able to give me an output in my screen. But I unable to save it into another output file :frowning:
Do you got any idea how I can archive it?

how about - do you see anything in 'new_output_file.stderr' and 'new_output_file.stdout' files?

program_used input_file 1> new_output_file.stdout 2> new_output_file.stderr

Yaa Vgersh is right...
If you are unable to redirect the output with ">" or ">>" then I am a bit sure that the output you are getting is not the stdout.It should be stderror and you can trap it by using "2>" or "2>>" insted of ">" or ">>".

So, use this instad..

Also make sure that you have proper privileges to write in that particular location.
