The list of stuff it will also remove is usually several printed pages, IF you could actually get a printout. Unfortunately, you can't even copy/paste for a record from that screen by any method but a screen snapshot series. [snip]
I had a similar problem some time back.Someone pointed me to a utility that saved everything sent to a console window. It was not "redirection" nor a "pipe" as the console retained all its functionality.
The procedure was:
start the utility in the console specifying a destination file
run arbitrary number of commands
[the utility recording input keystrokes and resulting output]
terminate the utility
close console if desired
I understand the typical use of the utility is in a classroom
situation where instructor needs to see exactly what the student
did. I know I saved the message but I can't come up with keywords
to retrieve it.
