batch file

hi guys.
i have a question about bach files.
i am learning.
i want to create a bach file that when we run it , it runs a program and saves the programs data as txt file on a specific folder.
i write this batchbelow) file but do not know what is the orders to save the txt file in a specific folder(my batch file save the files in the root of drive)

Code:

start program.exe /stext program.txt

This part of the batch file is called a switch:

start program.exe /stext program.txt

It will not work unless program.exe watches for that switch.

What is the name of the program?
And do you have a link where it can be downloaded?

i do not have the name of program.i am learning batch file.and do not test this order for a program yet.but as you said it is switch but it save the txt file in the root that the batch file is.for example if the batch file is in C drive.it creates txt file in C drive.i want to create txt file for example in a folder in desktop

maybe:

start program.exe /stext c:\users\username\desktop\program.txt

i found a program to test.
WirelessKeyView: Recover lost WEP/WPA key/password stored by Wireless Zero Configuration service

Don't use "start"! And redirecting output to file instead of console is done by using >

dir > %userprofile%\desktop\output.txt

To output error messages and well:
dir > %userprofile%\desktop\output.txt 2>&1

To add output to some file
dir >> %userprofile%\desktop\output.txt

source: Microsoft Corporation

i did not understand what you said.can you please write the codes as a batch file for my example

This application does not support a full path in front of the output file. If you want the txt file to be on your desktop, then move the file named WirelessKeyView.exe to your desktop and try this:

c:\users\omidreza\desktop\WirelessKeyView.exe /stext WirelessKeyView.txt
