Using of Top command as script parameter

Hi All

I am interested at using the output of Top command which shows some important system paramter related to CPU usage. I want to write a shell script in order to manipulate this output of command and to take some statistics for CPU.

Basically, I tried to redirect the top output to a textfile in this way:

Top > test

Except the fact the this action lasted too much, the content of filled new file was misformatted, where rows where mixed with eachother.

I have tried the same thing on a SUSE Linux machine and it worked.
I dont know why here it doesnt work in order to have a formatted content in the file.

Is there any solution for this? And besides the redirection method (top > test) is there any other method to create a file with the top output?

Thanks and Best Regards
Elthox
