Extract HISTORY from putty to windows .txt

Hi all hope you are well.
I am interested in a quick method (besides cut 'n' paste) of extracting my command history from a putty session (Linux version Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 9)) to a windows text file. Any ideas on that? Thanks for your time.

Well, wherever your history log is stored, just use echo "whateverthehistoryis" > "XXX.txt"

Or find the history log and copy and paste the file into a new directory.

Even better try this:

echo |history > history.txt

Yeah, I was stating that echo something > file.txt would do that.
