Transfer output of a proprietary command to a file
Hi Guys,
My problem looks simple. I have a software-proprietary command (not linux) that provides an output, let's say 200 lines.
Unfortunately the dumb coders of the software did not include the option ">" or ">>" which allows to transfer output to a file, so I need a way to do that using some linux trick (like print-screen and paste into a file).
Do you have any idea how can I do that ?

colcrt
COLCRT(1) User Commands COLCRT(1)
NAME
colcrt - filter nroff output for CRT previewing
SYNOPSIS
colcrt [options] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
colcrt provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is
destructive. Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
OPTIONS
-, --no-underlining
Suppress all underlining. This option is especially useful for previewing allboxed tables from tbl(1).
-2, --half-lines
Causes all half-lines to be printed, effectively double spacing the output. Normally, a minimal space output format is used which
will suppress empty lines. The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however. The -2 option is useful for sending
output to the line printer when the output contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be invisible.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Output help and exit.
EXAMPLES
A typical use of colcrt would be
tbl exum2.n | nroff -ms | colcrt - | more
SEE ALSO
nroff(1), troff(1), col(1), more(1), ul(1)
BUGS
Should fold underlines onto blanks even with the '-' option so that a true underline character would show.
Can't back up more than 102 lines.
General overstriking is lost; as a special case '|' overstruck with '-' or underline becomes '+'.
Lines are trimmed to 132 characters.
Some provision should be made for processing superscripts and subscripts in documents which are already double-spaced.
HISTORY
The colcrt command appeared in 3.0BSD.
AVAILABILITY
The colcrt command is part of the util-linux package and is available from Linux Kernel Archive <ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-
linux/>.
