To Redirect Error Messages from Command Prompt

When redirecting output from an application using the “>” symbol, error messages still print to the screen.  This is because error messages are often sent to the Standard Error stream instead of the Standard Out stream.  To redirect STDERR  specify “2>”  by which the error messages are redirected to the specified channel

eg : javac SampleFile.java 2> compileerror.txt

The compilation errors are captured in the compileerror.txt file.
