Hello, Thank you - I've managed to do that using a bat file like you suggested. Only problem is that: When I try to call: C:\\Java\bin\javac.exe Tester.java > test.txt (Which should run Tester.java and log any results into test.txt), When there are compilation errors and this command returns results - test.txt stays empty. Any suggestions?
