Hi

Lets say I type the following hypothetical command:

streamcommand.exe parameter1 parameter2

Lets say the above command generates an endless stream of output to STDOUT. How can I pipe this stream to not just one file but a sequence of files, each containing, lets say, five minutes of data?

Thank you very much.

What I have tried:

It is compulsory to fill in the "What have you tried?" box but I don't know what to try.

We have no idea what language you are using, so it is difficult to suggest much. However whichever one it is, take a look at the documentation for File I/O and Date & Time.

Hi Richard

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have looked at the DOS documentation but I can't see what I am looking for.

Do you know if there is a utility on the Internet in the form of an .exe file which can have STDOUT piped into it and then it saves it into a sequence of files?

Thank you very much.
