A 2005 thread (from Brian, Xavier, Chipp, et. al) talked about
re-direction to achieve a non-blocking shell call, using
get shell("mycommand > mylogfile.log &")
My brain cannot get this to work. Let's say I want Rev to start
"C:\blah.html" using shell(), and then continue executing downstream Rev
handlers. I've tried variations of
get shell("start > C:\blah.html &")
and
get shell("start > C:\shellTemp.txt &")
where shellTemp.text contains
C:\blah.html
among other variations
but nothing works. The following
get shell("start C:\blah.html &")
does work, but it is blocking.
I understand the ampersand performs a handoff but am ignorant of the
overall sequence of events. What am I doing wrong?
