Hi -
I am using Xerces in a shell script (bash) on Linux and Mac OS X.
I want to detect if sax.Counter gets a parse error or a 'file not
found' error. First, I tried this:
java sax.Counter -v myfile.xml
echo $?
When I check the value of $? in the shell script, it always comes
back 0, so I cannot use the value to detect an error.
I am currently doing this:
java sax.Counter -v myfile.xml > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt
My shell script checks the file size of stderr.txt. If the file
size is greater than zero, then it contains error messages, so
I assume that sax.Counter has encountered an error and the script
takes appropriate action.
Is this the best way to handle this error, or is there a better way?
Thanks.
