Hi, I'm using windows so I know the wildcard support for flac is broken. That's why I use this command to encode a whole directory of WAV-files to FLAC-files in a command prompt: for %1 in (*.wav) do flac -V --best "%1" This command is fully working Now I want to write the flac output to a file, so I can open this file later. I tried to add > outputfile.txt to the command like this: for %1 in (*.wav) do flac -V --best "%1" > outputfile.txt But this doesn't work. Does somebody knows what I have to add the my command line to write the flac output to a file? I don't want to use the Cygwin program, but only the windows command prompt and the official flac tool. thanks in advance! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I never use the command line but I only wanted to know how to write the output of flac to a file. Can you please tell me how I have to run this command? thx! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was also wondering if writing everything to a file can slow down the FLAC encoding or is it as fast as writing everything to a command window? I was wondering if you know where I can find more information about the '2>' operator for the windows command line? I don't find anything about it (I usually don't use the command line). Where did you find information about it? thx in advance! Josh> > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam? Yahoo!

So only the output of the last file in the directory is saved to the outputfile (I think the outputfile is overwritten every time for each file). Do you know how I can write the output of EACH file to the same outputfile? I can't figure it out how to do this. So I want to have an outputfile that has all the FLAC output of each file. thanks in advance! this is true for cmd.exe as well as other unixy shells like bash.> not sure if it works for command.com though. > > Josh > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
