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.

Jump to PostWell, 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.

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