"%COMSPEC% /c work.bat >file.txt" will succeed. Everyone knows that.
What I'm wondering is if the following (piping into a .BAT) is considered acceptable or "standard" for DOS. "prog1.exe | %COMSPEC% /c work.bat | %COMSPEC% /c fixups.bat >some.txt" Does that work like I'd expect? (Seems to ... barely.) Is it rare? Is it buggy? Is there a better way? I've explored several other ways in DOS, including other shells (4DOS, DJGPP's Bash) or just a simple wrapper .C (system) or .PAS (exec) program. Does anyone have experience or advice with this? (Timo Salmi's BAT FAQ didn't quite cover it, from a quick glance.) _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
