    We usually do this for windows:

    java test < in.txt > out.txt
    or
    test.exe < in.txt > out.txt

    to direct i/o stream i/p and o/p to the in.txt and out.txt respectively.

    How do i do it in osx?

    i would. but it ain't working.

    Code:
    -bash: in.rtf: No such file or directory

    What is the whole command you are using?


    To make the contents of a file serve as the input to a command, use "<":

    $ wc < RightNow.txt
    2 12 58

    As is so often the case in shell programming, there is at least one other way to produce the above result:

    $ cat RightNow.txt | wc
    2 12 58

    This is what i write:

    Code:
    Program\ Files/Scripter/test <in.rtf> out.rtf
    in terminal. What i expect to happen is that the "cin>>" or any other I/P stream command takes the I/P from the in.rtf. Works as a good test case model for I/P values.

    Btw i just the problem. you need to change the working directly with "cd".
    Thanks anyways.

    On Unix environments current directory is not in the search path, so if your files in.rtf and out.rtf are in the current directory proper way to address them is:
    ./in.rtf and ./out.rtf.

    Your command should look like java < ./in.rtf > ./out.rtf

    Files used as command arguments or redirections don't have to be in the search path.

    There is no functional difference between "./in.rtf" and "in.rtf" when used as stream redirections. There would be a difference if they were used as a command, but they're not being used that way, so it's irrelevant.
