I don't know too much about redirecting output in Unix, but whatever will work on the command line should work in system(). Within perl, you can achieve the same effect with:
open TMP, "> tmp.txt"; print TMP foreach `perldoc perldsc`; close TMP; HTH, Rob "Sugumar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi, > > I'm trying this command from my perl program system ( "perldoc perldsc > > tmp.txt"). I don't see the output going to the file tmp.txt; instead it > shows the output > in the screen.How could I get the output in some text file. > > Sugumar > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
