p.FileName = fName
p.Arguments = targetName & " > " & sourceName

Redirect the output by setting RedirectStandardOutput property to True, also set UseShellExecute property to False first. For Arguments property leave out the DOS redirect.
Then get StandardOutput (a StreamReader) from the process instance and write the output to a file, for example:

Dim pcs = Process.Start(p)
IO.File.WriteAllText(sourceName, pcs.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd)

(didn't you mix up source and target by the way? semantically one get from a source and put to a target)
