Hello, I am a real noob at SQL programming and was wondering if someone could tell me how it would be possible for me to have my sql script output to a txt file?

For example the sql script file I have saved is select * from abc.def:

1. How can I automate the output to a txt file?
2. How can I run the script from a command line since I am doing this now from SSMS.

Thank you!
