Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting >& redirection not working within csh script Post 302864953 by silencio on Thursday 17th of October 2013 11:22:47 AM

Does anyone else has any familiarity with this problem? Namely why basic text output will redirect with >& on the command line / console but not within my cshell script on this particular version of CentOS?

MadeInGermany, yes my script begins with #!/bin/csh and my program doesn't make complex output - the output is very basic - 3 lines of text - the first line is blank and then the second 2 lines have text output.

>& works in my cshell script on several other computers with different OS/versions but not on this version and I can't figure out why. I need some way to redirect output within my cshell script that doesn't involve software upgrades/installs (I work at a corporation and don't have install permissions).

NAME
diff3 - 3-way differential file comparison SYNOPSIS
file1 file2 file3 DESCRIPTION
compares three versions of a file, and prints disagreeing ranges of text flagged with these codes: all three files differ file1 is different file2 is different file3 is different The type of change required to convert a given range of a given file to some other is indicated in one of these ways: Text is to be appended after line number n1 in file f, where f = or Text is to be changed in the range line n1 through line n2. If n1 = n2, the range can be abbreviated to n1. The original contents of the range follows immediately after a indication. When the contents of two files are identical, the contents of the lower-numbered file is suppressed. Produces a script for the editor that can be used to incorporate into file1 all changes between file2 and file3 (see ed(1)); i.e., the changes that normally would be flagged and Produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged Produces a script to incorporate only changes flagged Produces a script that will incorporate all changes between file2 and file3, but treat overlapping changes (that is, changes that would be flagged with in normal listing) differently. The overlapping lines in both files will be inserted by the edit script bracketed by and lines. Produces a script that will incorporate only changes flagged , but treat these changes in the manner of option. The following command applies the resulting script to file1. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
