Bulk_Extractor output

[Charlie]

Hi, I have created a small program which will run several instances of
bulk_extractor simultaneously. The files generated by Bulk_Extractor
do not have a log file which shows the standard output. Is there a
bulk_extractor command which will create the StdOut to a log file? I
appreciate if someone could help me..

Hi, Charlie.

You may wish to move this to the newly-created bulk_extractor user's mailing list, at:

bulk_extra...@googlegroups.com

To answer your question, though, I'm really, really confused what you are doing. bulk_extractor creates a report.xml file that contains in XML a log of what it does. Why would you want to process the STDOUT when there is nicely formatted XML? However, if you do want to process the stdout, you can just redirect it to a file, and you can do that on Windows or Mac or Linux with the ">" command line option. You may find this tutorial on I/O redirection helpful:
