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).

The define HOME equal to your home directory is set for the preprocessor using -D option supported by both m4 and cpp. This script can be used for colorizing the text by ANSI escape sequences, or making a simple text conver- sions and may be used for colorizing output of dict or other programs. In particular, log files, dict, cc, make, or diff output can easily be colorized and viewed. OPTIONS
-V or --version Shows version information. -h or --help Shows help information. -c file or --config file Specify configuration file. The default is ~/.coloritrc or /etc/dictd/colorit.conf --pp preprocessor Specify a preprocessor (- for none). FILES
~/.coloritrc User's colorit configuration file /etc/dictd/colorit.conf System colorit configuration file CONFIG FILE
Empty lines or lines beginning with sharp sign (`#') are ignored. All other lines have this structure: command arg1 arg2 ... argN. All commands are processed one-by-one for each input line. args strings can be surrounded by double-quote characters. Currently, only mark command is available having the following arguments: regexp pre_string post_string The pre_string and post_string are inserted at the beginning and the end of substring matched by regular expression regexp BUGS
The only supported escape sequence in the strings surrounded by double quotes is 33. SEE ALSO
