How to send file to com1 port?

thank's in advance

Answer 1

First answer:

type file.txt > com1

Edit after spotting the C# tag 8-) I think this will work:

using System.IO;
...
File.Copy(@"c:\file.txt", "com1");

but I can't properly test it as I have nothing I can plug into my COM1 port. 8-) It appears to work, in that it blocks rather than throwing an exception.
