in reply to shell redirect on windows, qx?
The only one that comes with a bash is the Cygwin environment. Fortunately, the Windows CLI is mostly sane for redirection purposes, though. Unfortunately, I found that older versions of ActiveState might break on your code. Anything recent should be okay, though.
To keep the response a bit shorter for those looking for just the gist, I'll put all but my newest copy of each in a readmore. I don't have Vanilla, but it's my understanding Vanilla is just a proper subset of Strawberry. I'd mostly expect similar results from those two.
