How Can i use "--stdout" with masks ?

[monminamon]

i tried something like this but it prints the passwords to the screen not to a text file

Code:

hashcat64.exe -a 3 a?h?h?h?h?h?d?d --stdout test.txt

searching here on the forum 

all i could find is using it for rules and .dic files 

Code:

hc64 d.dic -rr.rule --stdout empty.txt empty.txt

also does the ?h not include the full alphabet? only abcdef ?

thanks  : )
