#Amiga RS-232 input
4 messages in this thread
Does anyone know how to copy RS-232 input to a file. Neither TYPE nor COPY
appear to allow I/O redirection.

Type and copy *DO* allow redirection. The only catch is that any re-direction
has to be placed on the command line BEFORE any other parameters. For
instance, to redirect "DIR" to the parrallel port do the following:
dir >par: *.bas opt a
To redirect "TYPE" to the serial port do:
type >ser: filename.bas
of course, with "TYPE" you can specify an output file name, so there is no need
for redirection. To print a hex dump of a file, for instance, try:
type filename to par: opt h

Jeff, see message #12172 on cbm2000 for a way to do it from CLI. The method is
sorta brute force, but it works.
You don't really need redirection to do it. Just use:
COPY SER: TO FILENAME or TYPE SER: TO *
See also the reply to the same message for further info on some things that
need to be done to end up with a usable file.
