Re^2: How to print STDOUT to a file

Sorry but both solutions dont work, or I misunderstood you. Writing to a file would just result in printing the status of system(). Using system(prog, options, > file) results in a failure telling me that i dont use prog rigth an listing the options available. What did i wrong? I am working on Windows.

system($rnapath, "-p", "-noCloseGU", "-noLP", "$_") == 0 or die $?; $rnapath being the program called. Thank you for your patience.	[reply]

the bullet proof way: `my $pid = fork; if (defined $pid and $pid == 0) { open STDOUT, ">", $fn or die; exec $script, @args; exit 1; } if ($pid) { waitpid($pid); $? and die "error on child: $?" } else { die "unable to fork: $!"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
