    sqlcmd -S servername -E -d Databasename -i c:\abc.sql -o c:\abc.txt

    You can also substitute a ">" for the "-o". It will cause the file to be overwritten if it already exists. Substituting ">>" will cause the file to be appended with the new information.

    Yep, Jeff is right that you can use redirection from a command line.

    If you need to do this inside SQL Server, you can use xp_cmdshell to call this in a shell.
