DOS as programming environment

[Chrissirhc]

Hello can anyone help
I sometimes use DOS to compile and run my Java programs there are two problems with this. When compiling I find myself trying to hit the break key so I can see what the first few errors are. When I run the program if I have alot of output to the screen I cannot see it all.

Has anyone a solution to this problem?

You can use the redirection operator ">" under DOS, just like under UNIX shells :

prompt> java foo.fooClass > aFile.txt

It just redirects the std output in "aFile.txt" so you can see your output in a offline way, enjoy!

Hope this will help you, bye.
