[Openroad-users] Call System & Sed

[Pete Rabjohns]

I think you may need to use the CMD command to run 'sed' because
redirection is handled by that? Just a hunch, but I've used it before to
capture output.

OR4.1 SP3, Win2000

 

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
