Simple Question - Redirecting All Output

[Einstein47]

I know I've seen this before, but since I didn't write it down I have forgotten.

What do I put in a file to redirect all of the stdout to a particular file? I know that I could just put script > stdout.txt but I would rather have the output destination in the script.

Thanks in advance, Einstein47

in your script
{
# your script here
} > output.txt Mike

Hi

You can also use exec :

exec 3>&1 1>stdout.txt # Save and redirect stdout
. . . . . . . .
exec 1>&3 3>&- # Restor stdout

Thanks to both of you - that is exactly what I was wanting.
