Hi John - using --xml or --html as an argument and redirecting to a file seems to work here. As in,
mysql -u me -psecret -D database --html -e "select * from that_table" > ~/test_file.html HTH, Dan On 5/8/07, John Kebbel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
When I try using the --xml or --html option with a batch file using INTO OUTFILE 'dirpath', the --xml or --html option seems to be ignored in favor of the tab-delimited default. (If I get rid of the INTO OUTFILE, xml or html displays fine in the terminal.) I tried using the pager to write to a file from inside MySQL. I succeeded, but it was table data. I couldn't figure out how to add the --xml or --html options from inside the pager. I tried the redirection operator from the command line, but I haven't stumbled on the correct syntax if such a syntax does exist. Does anyone know how to write an --xml or --html file from a SELECT statement, either from the command line or from a batch file? This would really be useful information.
