Michael, Interesting point! The output is different now. I used: java -jar brailleblaster.jar translate %bPath%%inputFile% 2> brlblaster.log And this is the output to the screen (still not going to the output.log file though!): Administrator: brailleBlaster process Assistant * 3. Automatically translate input file to nominated output file. * * 4. Emboss the translated braille version of the input file. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Select an option or q to exit 2 The file location is C:\Users\Cearbhall\Documents\braille\ Do you wish to use this location?

I am new to this type of work, sorry. I want to hide this trace-type output from the user but still capture it in a log file. I cannot modify the java source code so I have to do it in the batch program if possible.
