    Hi,

    Maybe this will sound odd, but I would like to know if there is a way of exporting x264's --help, --longhelp or --fullhelp to a text file that I can search, highlight and read more comfortably than I can in the command prompt (Windows). As it may be obvious by now, I seldom use the windows command prompt for anything, and I can't even get started tinkering with x264 because of that.

    I have tried
    Code:
    x264 --help > x264help.txt
    but this saves the man page in a barely readable unformated file (I guess all tabs, line breaks and multiple spaces were saved as single spaces).

    I know there are good Linux tools for that, but my lab is Windows only.

    Thanks

    I have attached them.
    You should be able to view them in notebook or whatever.

    You can read it with wordpad, instead of notepad to keep the formatting

    Thank you both, bat999 files are identical to mine. Wordpad's tabulation is a lot easier to read.
    I had no idea wordpad and notepad interpret txt files differently.

    Do most people read man pages directly from the console?
