You use a greater than symbol after the command, then a filename after that symbol to specify the file path for the redirected output. (e.g. cmdline-program.exe > redir-output.txt).

A wildcard character is a character that can stand in for any other character.
On the command line, the normal wildcards are * (match zero or more characters) and ? (match exactly one character).

You use them for example when listing or selecting files, like the command
c:\>dir t*
would list all files in that directory with a name starting with "t".
