Redirecting com port data to file?

[mjbosko]

I used to use a serial analyzer for this, but no longer have one - and am under the gun (of course).

I'm trying to capture output of a program through the PC's com port. Is there any way to redirect this data, before it hits the com port, to a file or printer?

Thanks!

Mike

Geez, I think you have to play with this a bit.

See:

My gut instincts would be to use the Mode command in a batch file:

mode com1:9600,n,8,1
mode com1:=lpt1:

And then use one of the hundreds of lpt1 redirection utilities to spool to a file.
