Hi Rob, I have been trying to find the file pcbasic_print.txt that is created and used by notepad. The goal is to be able read the output into excel and then try to manipulate the data in the printout. I've done searches for that file name, but have had no luck finding it. I do have all files viewable. I'm using Win 10.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi Jim, that's a temporary file - it'll be deleted after use, so you are unlikely to find it. If you want to print to a file, use lpt1=FILE:output.txt in the configuration file or the command-line option --lpt1=FILE:output.txt
