Hello all,

Yes I'm aware this is the wrong newsgroup (so please point me to the
right one please) I looked in alt how to but only porn there.
So please don't flame

My question is this.
I use whisper (a password generator) for accounts.
Meanwhile i have 1500 accounts so i want to put things in a database
or report to analyse.
Problem is that Whisper doesn't have an export function to ascii text.
I mailed the author of the program and he says it's programmed in
delphi and he hasn't the time to programm this.
I'm not a programmer but i remember from my dos days that you can
print-to-file somehow. I like to think i have a text-file and then i
can arrange things. (I'm trying to learn perl so i have a good
playfield to experiment)
I use Windows 2000 and i can't think of anything to solve my problem.

I won't flame, just point out alt.os.windows2000 or the large
and often informative newservers supplied by microsoft snews.microsoft.com
which covers a whole multitude of sins

If the output is to the dos screen the adding a > c:\yourfile.txt will
save the output to the ASCII file c:\yourfile.txt if you are generating
lots of different executions of the program you will want to replace >
with >> to append.

whisper >> c:\passwordLog.txt

using a relative path rather than the absolute path above will create the
file relative to the working directory.

My thought is to install http://www.cygwin.com/ to get a decent development
environment.

Then either use 'expect' and process the output, or capture the output using
nohup.
