    How to redirect a file of input data in PowerShell?


    In the past, before Windows 10 update, we had Command Prompt, but now we have PowerShell instead. I would like to know how to use a redirected file of input data into an EXE program. I used to write 'C:\Users\Owner\desktop>program.exe < input.dat' but the system says that '<' is not valid and reserved for future use. How do I get around this?

    :)

    How to redirect a directory in Windows 10

    Public Video's, Public Documents, etc. are the level of subfolders I was talking about, as they are all subfolders of Public.

    You can type your new path in the text box & redirect the folder, you'll just have to move the contents yourself.

    When moving files/folders, be sure File Explorer is set to show Hidden files -- including "superhidden", so that you copy the desktop.ini file.

    If you find after redirection that the Display names aren't shown, you may need to set the Read-only attribute on the folders, but that can come later.

    How to redirect a directory in Windows 10

    Hi Keith,

    Maybe I missed something but I can't.

    The only level that I have with the location tab is the Public Videos, Public Documents, etc level.

    All the subdirectories don't have a location tab.

    This is how my location tab looks like:

    I can't change the line c:\Users\Public]Videos

    I hope this is not what you meant and that I have to do it different.

    Thanks,

    john

    Also, Command Prompt is still here.

    Start Menu>Windows System>Command Prompt>Right Click>More>Run As Administrator

    Easier way to pull up command is just Windows key with the X key.

    You can't hook a file directly to stdin, but you can still access stdin.Get-Content input.txt | ./program > output.txt
