What I want is for all stdout & stderr output to go to one file. I've previously tried not redirecting the output to a file but instead processing the variable on completion of the Shell/Exec command. The disadvantage of this is that if the program get_iplayer hangs/crashes then I can't examine the file: I want to be able to run this without debug mode being on and so I cannot look at the variable sOutput if it crashes. Thus I want to use a file for stdout & stderr and I expect sOutput to be empty (in the Test project, I have temporary code which shows that sOutput is empty no matter what happens in get_iplayer's execution).
I'm forced to use the 'To' clause in Shell/Exec because of its syntax: I have previously studied the documentation webpages to which you refer. In the case when get_iplayer has gone to normal end in its execution, the file has been created and is OK. However, I still get the blank window during get_iplayer's execution: the window returns to normal when get_iplayer finishes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
