How to recover bash output of an already closed window

bashcommand lineshell

I have run a specific program in a bash terminal and I closed it by mistake before reading its output. Is it possible to recover the information that was sent to the stdout by taking a look at some sort of bash stdout history log?

Thank you so much.

No, there isn't STDOUT history on the filesystem.

If you don't have logging enabled for your terminal then you are out of luck.

I've no idea about your specific piece of software, but you can pipe and you can redirect in vbScript using the .Run command. For example:

' demonstrate piping and redirecting output with .Run
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strTemp=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%") & "\"
strCmd=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%comspec%") & " /C"

' here is the action
objShell.Run strCmd & "echo hello and welcome|findstr /N welcome >" & strTemp & "test.txt",0, True

' read the file back to show it was created successfully
Set file = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strTemp & "test.txt", 1)
strTaskText = file.ReadAll
strTaskText=Left(strTaskText,Len(strTaskText)-2) ' remove trailing vbCrLf
file.Close

MsgBox "The output was:" & vbcrlf & strTaskText
