Question: How to save Figlet to a file?
Michael Zalewski
How are you supposed to use the figlet things you make? Is there a 'save to
file' command or something?

Well, in unix you can do something like this...
echo "Test" | figlet -f banner3-D > argh
will put Test in the banner3-D font and output it to the file argh

This is one trick that I sometime use in vi (or vim).
You can filter lines through other commands with the ! command.
For example, say I have this typed on a line:
Warning!
If I use the ! command in vi with the cursor on this line:
!figlet -c
Then this is the result:

Yes, it's very simple. type: figlet -f [fontname] > [filename]
for example: figlet -f invita > sig.txt
Then upload the program into your account and use it.

Nothing that fancy. Simply redirect the output using the dos '>' function.
I.E. -- 'figlet -f small.flf > output.txt'. You _won't_ see the output but
type away anyway. When you are done with the stuff you want to figlet, simply
type Ctrl-Z. Hope this helps.

Type: figlet -f whatever > filename
and finish with ctrl-d
simple!
