the ">" operator redirects standard output only, but wget prints stuff to the standard error channel. > What's the trick in here? the wget documentation explains how to redirect wget output. if you don't have the manual page, you can do wget --help to get a list of options. see the section "Logging and input files" for the options you need. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
