Redirecting stderr to the same place as stdout, the pipe, avoids this. > In bash(1), |& is one operator, not two. bash also adds ‘&>foo’ meaning ‘>foo 2>&1’. Likewise ‘&>>’. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-08-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
