I have a Symcode MJ-8200 barcode scanner that basically acts as a keyboard. I scan something, and then it will type the data of whatever it scanned into whatever text area my cursor is active in at that moment. The problem is that I have to be actively keeping a text editor open to write into it, and even so I can't ever save. I can keep scanning and writing, but it wont save unless I stop it and save. Is there any way I can force it to write straight into a file and save the information it writes?

The very simplest solution:
For windows, hold Windows key, hit R, type cmd
and ENTER to open a cmd prompt.
At the prompt, type:c:> type >filename.txt
and press ENTER
Scan any number of barcodes, they will show in the display - and be saved into the file at the same time... as if you had typed them on the keyboard.
hold CTRL and hit Z, and hit ENTER - to end the "saving".
Typing start filename.txt
(press ENTER) will act the same as if you had double-clicked the filname. (start .
to open the current folder in Explorer)
For Linux, hold CTRL+SHIFT and hit T
At the prompt, type:
$ cat >filename.txt
and press ENTER (as above) Scan any barcodes, but hold CTRL and hit D to stop saving data.
xdg-open filename.txt
is the equivalent to "start" for windows.
Additional tip
Create a file named
start
and make it contain:
#!/bin/bash
xdg-open "$*" # replace with 'kde-open' for KDE
Then do:$ chmod 755 start
and place / move the file in / to a folder that is listen in you $PATH, and you'll have "start" working as for Windows.
