[Openroad-users] Call System & Sed

[White, Paul]

Maybe put it in a dos script?
call system 'c:\mycmd.bat c:\script.txt c:\pp.txt c:\ppp.txt'
 
c:\mycmd.bat
sed -f %1 %2 > %3

Hi All,
 
I've got Monday morning blues; I'm running a call system command to execute
a sed script against a file:
 
CALL SYSTEM 'sed -f c:\script.txt c:\PP.txt > c:\PPP.txt';
 
The above works fine in a seperate command window. 
 
The problem i am getting is that it will not redirect the output. Now i've
tried everything i can possibly think of. (Checked redirects work in call
system): CALL SYSTEM 'dir c:\ > fred';
 
I've attached a screenshot of the cmd window that pops up, can clearly see
the sed script running, but not producing the output file.
 
Is it me or does this not work? What am i missing??
 
 
 

Cheers, 
Gareth Edwards
