Hello,
Is it possible to redirect output from a system command within the proc:execute function?
I would like to do something like:
proc:execute("echo", ("hello!", "> hello.txt"))
but the ">" does not seem to be recognized.
Thanks in advance, Tim

You could run, bash -c 'echo hello > hello.txt' instead, maybe?
This is assuming you are using Linux or the Linux subsystem on Windows, or cygwin, or OS X... so bash is available.
Ah, of course. Thank you, Liam! That's what I needed.
All best, Tim
