ha ha thanks agama, I guess i'll keep my temporary files then Smilie, they're not so bad after all!!
It's a pity though, i was hoping some kind of easy redirection like

Code:
ls not_a_file a_file >$OUT 2>$ERR # obviously does not actually work!

It wouldn't seem so hard to provide in shells nowadays, since the same can be achieved with a few commands using files. Anyway, I guess the question of whether it is actually useful or not is worth asking.

Anyway thanks to both of you!

EDIT: well I settled for:
Code:
COMMAND="ls not_a_file a_file"
OUT=`mktemp` && ERR=`mktemp` && eval "$COMMAND" 1>$OUT 2>$ERR; STDOUT=`cat $OUT` && STDERR=`cat $ERR` && rm $OUT $ERR
echo -e "STDOUT=$STDOUT\nSTDERR=$STDERR"

If something thinks of something much better, let me know!!
