How do I export the history from the Windows command line to a text file?

As an IT admin, it is important to be able to export command line history to a text file. This can be useful for troubleshooting and recording command line usage. Fortunately, Windows makes it easy to export command line history to a text file.

The first step is to open the Command Prompt window. To do this, type “cmd” into the search bar in the Start Menu and press enter. This will open the Command Prompt window.

Next, type the following command into the Command Prompt window: “doskey /history > history.txt”. This command will export all the commands you’ve entered in the Command Prompt window to a text file called “history.txt”.

Once the command is executed, the text file will be saved in the same directory as the Command Prompt window. You can open the file and view the command line history. You can also edit the file and save it to a different location.

If you want to export only a portion of the command line history, you can do so by adding a parameter to the command. For example, if you want to export only the last ten commands, you can use the following command: “doskey /history 10 > history.txt”. This will export the last ten commands to a text file called “history.txt”.

If you want to export the command line history to a different file, you can use the following command: “doskey /history > [filename].txt”. This command will export the command line history to a text file with the name you specify.

Exporting command line history to a text file can be a useful tool for IT admins. It can help them troubleshoot problems and record command line usage. The process is simple and straightforward, and the commands are easy to remember.
