Question

The character > (or >>) can be used with a command in Windows to log results of a command to file. Does Linux have this ability? How do you do it?

Example:
$ find /?>find.txt

This command will make a file named find.txt in the current directory. This file will contain exactly what is found in the term window after typing the command:

Searches for a text string in a file or files.

FIND [/V] [/C] [/N] [/I] [/OFF[LINE]] "string" [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]]

  /V         Displays all lines NOT containing the specified string.
  /C         Displays only the count of lines containing the string.
  /N         Displays line numbers with the displayed lines.
  /I         Ignores the case of characters when searching for the string.
  /OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.
  "string"   Specifies the text string to find.
  [drive:][path]filename
             Specifies a file or files to search.

If a path is not specified, FIND searches the text typed at the prompt
or piped from another command.

Answer 1

It works the same way in Linux. > will overwrite the output file, >> will append to it. Some programs will print errors to STDERR, which you can capture using 2>. Sometimes you will see STDERR redirected to the same location as STDOUT using 2>&1, so that all output can be captured at once.
