Output of a command to a file 1

[stevenk140]

I have a problem where from my c program, I am running a system command with:

system(cmd);

Now I have a couple of problems. The program I am running in that command is failing and I want to catch the stderr output (so a 'cmd > outfile' does not work). How could I output the results of my command to a file?

Well depending on how capable your shell is, the following should work

system("cmd 2>err");

Works on unix shells and win2k/XP consoles
Won't work on DOS/Win9x command lines
