the command prompt is "arp-a"

Right-click anywhere in the Command Prompt, and click Select All
Press {ENTER}. The output is now copied to the Windows clipboard.

What "Anteaus" wrote was all that you needed to know about sending output to a file.

However, I wanted to give you a little bit of general advice about the use of
"switches".

In your example "arp-a" the "-a" was the "switch".

But you should *always* leave a space between the command and between any individual
switches.

e.g. : dir /a /o /p
arp -a -g
