Send output from batch processing to file

Dear all,

Is there a way to send the output from a specific operation (e.g. "Print summary of paths" in "Topology analysis"/"Modify or print details or export paths") to an output file while running Multiwfn in batch mode? So far I only managed to save files for which an export option exists in the program.

Of course I could send stdout of the entire batch operation to some file, but this would involve some heavy text parsing afterwards and I was wondering if there was an easier way.

Thank you and best,
Clemens

Dear Clemens,

Sorry, Multiwfn itself doesn't support this feature. But I think this is not an evident difficulty, afterall, via awk command, the useful content can be easily extracted from the whole output according to practical need.

Best regards,

Tian
