MinGW - Trouble With File Input and Output

[nike52]

Hey

I installed MinGW.
When I compile on cmdline with g++ text.cpp, it works, an 'a' file appears. When I used the command ./a.out < input.txt for input and output in cmdline, the cmdline says '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable file, or batch file.

Can you guys tell me what's wrong ?

"./a.out" is a unix command, first of all. you cant run unix commands in windows unless you're using cygwin or something.

in order to compile and run files in windows, you compile and link using

code:

gcc -o hello hello.c

alternatively, you could do it in two steps:

code:

g++ -c hello.cpp g++ -o hello hello.o
