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.
