redirect node.js console output to file

node.js_output_to_file.txt

Just run the script in your terminal like this...

node script-file.js > log-file.txt

This tells the shell to write the standard output of the command node script-file.js to your log file instead of the default, which is printing it to the console.

This is called redirection and its very powerful. Say you wanted to write all errors to a separate file...

node script-file.js >log-file.txt 2>error-file.txt
Now all console.log are written to log-file.txt and all console.error are written to error.txt

thank you
