I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use mimic with 2 files one input one output. I have tried every command I can think of idk if I installed it wrong or what. But im trying to run it from command prompt. And I can sort of get it to work by running it using mimic -m 100 but I want to know how to take a input file and output it to another. Can someone, ANYONE, Explain to me in stupid how to work this program from hell. Before I actually loose my mind.

Hey - sorry I didn't see this until now. Can I ask what operating system and which shell you're running? This should be a matter of using a simple pipe.

At the time I was using windows cmd prompt with python, however between now and then I have migrated to Arch Linux. So as of now I use GNU bash, version 5.1.8. However I have not attempted using this tool yet on my linux install.
