Originally created by @oliverbob on GitHub (Dec 25, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/1710

If Ollama can read prompts from file, there has to be a way somehow to receive response to file and save it in the working directory.

How do I achieve this?

Scenario:

ollama run dolphin-phi

'/home/ai/repo/llama2.c/run.c' rewrite this code with arguments for blah... 😄

Thanks.

If you're on a Unix-like system (Linux, MacOS) you should be able to just do something like:

ollama run dolphin-phi "prompt" >> response.md

I have tried this using some other models and it worked.

This is a big help.

I get a bunch of control characters. How can I get a clean output?

i developed simple a bash script with the help of chatgpt for prompting.

#!/bin/bash

# Define the output file
output_file="Response.md"

# # Ensure the output file is empty or create it if it doesn't exist
# > "$output_file"


# Loop until the user decides to exit
while true; do
    # Prompt the user for input
    read -p "Enter something (or type 'exit' to quit): " user_input

    # Check if the user wants to exit
    if [[ "$user_input" == "exit" ]]; then
        echo "Exiting..."
        break
    fi

    # Print the variable
    echo -e "<h2>======  Start of $user_input  ======</h2>" >> "Response.md"

    # Run the command and append the output directly to the file
    ollama run phi3:mini "$user_input" >> "$output_file"
    
    echo -e "<h2>======  End of $user_input  ======</h2>" >> "Response.md"

    # Inform the user that the response has been saved
    echo "The response has been saved to $output_file"

done

What about Windows ?

(I did an edit on the script above from shakib04:)

#!/bin/bash

output_file="response.txt"

#Loop until the user decides to exit
while true; do
# Prompt the user for input
read -p "Enter something (or type 'exit' to quit): " user_input

# Check if the user wants to exit
if [[ "$user_input" == "exit" ]]; then
    echo "Exiting..."
    break
fi

# Print the variable
echo -e "<h2>======  Start of $user_input  ======</h2>" >> ${output_file} 

# Run the command and append the output directly to the file
ollama run deepseek-r1:14b "$user_input" >> ${output_file} 

echo -e "<h2>======  End of $user_input  ======</h2>" >> ${output_file} 

# Inform the user that the response has been saved
echo "The response has been saved to ${output_file}"
