What is the Ada command line redirector that is analogous to “>”?

Question

Ada noob here (and also not so hot with the command line in general). I am looking for the Ada command line redirector that would be analogous to \">\" in DOS.

I didn't think to check Github first, but there is some very good information at the William Whitaker WORDS project site, including a user guide here:

http://mk270.github.io/whitakers-words/operational.html.

What I learned that I had to do was this: While running Words in a Windows command line, enter "#" to change the parameters.

So start here: William Whitaker's WORDS beginning interface

Then enter "#" to change the parameters and mode of the program and hit enter. You will be presented with each parameter sequentially and you can enter "n" to keep the current parameter setting (which could be set to either yes or no) or "y" to change the parameter setting (to either yes or no).

After you go through all the parameters, you'll be asked if you want to save the parameter changes. The image below shows this. [William Whitaker's WORDS saving all the new parameter settings][3]

Don't get mixed up by thinking that you can enter "y" or "n" as the parameter setting. You are entering "y" or "n" about whether to change the current parameter setting.

Once you've set the Write_Output_To_File parameter to "y" you can run Words with a command like this:

@InputLatinWordList.txt

WORDS will generate a file called WORD.out that you can open up as a text file to rename it.
