Executing file, with redirection.

[jassing]

I'm trying to run a program, and rediect teh output.

MyProg.exe
parameters: /F:somefile >%TempLaunchDir%\File.Out

the file is never created.

Thoughts?

Re: Executing file, with redirection.

I think your best bet is to dynamically create a batch file to do this and launch that, because I don't know how the redirection would be handled in that situation. I can't even really suggest anything other than fooling around with quoting certain parts of the command line. I suspect that it will not work though in the end.

Thansk; the problem there is on some systems, comand.com or cmd.exe doesn't close when the batch file is done...

I took it one step beyond, and made a simple exe that does the call with redirection.
