How do I dump the data from console to the text file from the output generated by SELECT statement ?
If it's a small answer that you're just trying to save to a file for note-keeping purposes, you could run
mysql -e 'select * from thing where foo="bar"\G' > outfile.txt
but if you're trying to collect data in a way you can use it, you could run from inside the mysql cli client :
select * from thing where foo='bar' into outfile 'outfile.txt'
or
select * from thing where foo='bar' into outfile 'outfile.txt' fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' lines terminated by '\n';
... if you wanted them to be a CSV file for reading into Excel or otherwise...
