Re: Output redirection

It sounds to me like the scripts you're calling, scriptA.pl and scriptB.pl are creating output files to specific directories they are choosing.

If a single invocation of a script is creating thousands of files, then it is not using STDOUT for its output; it's creating files. You cannot do anything to change that short of modifying those scripts.

It sounds to me like your only choice is going to be to move those files after they've been created to the location you want them to end up.

Hard- and softlinks are available on NT-based Windows, at least on NTFS, but they are rather surprising for the average Windows user, and they don't behave like hardlinks / softlinks on Unix-like systems.

chdir may work, but I've never heard of a chroot implementation on WinXP or similar. Alexander -- Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)	[reply]
