using perl to override output redirection

2 New Member
Hi,

Could anyone point how can i override output redirection using perl.
i.e.
command > file 2>&1 will redirect both output and error of command to file
I need to print a message to tty even if there is redirection.

Well, one way is to use the open() function and open the file / connection. Then, use a print statement to print to the filehandle from the open function.

ie:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. open(TTY, "|<tty connection>");
  2.  
  3. print TTY ("Your info here!\n");
  4.  
Hope that helped.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your reply. But still it is redirecting to the output file.

This must be easy, but I'm missing something... I want to execute a Perl script, and capture ALL its output into a PHP variable. Here are my 2 files: ------------------------------------- test3.pl ------------------------------------- print "PERL Hello from Perl! (plain print)<br>\n"; print STDERR "PERL This is text sent to STDERR<br>\n"; $output="PERL Some output:<br>\n"; for ($i=0; $i<5; $i++) {

Hello For example rather than having to output all the HTML code for a static page could I not just send back to the user a redirection to a web page. Eg, user clicks on button on form which says: 'Take me to Microsoft web site' On clicking the browser, the user is redirected to www.microsoft.com Is this possible? How?

Greetings, I'm trying to redirect python's stdout to another location. The reason for this is that I'm embedding python in an application. Now, originally my code was developed for Linux and that did not require redirection due to the fact that every X11 application can have an STDOUT associated with it. I then proceeded to take interest in making my code portable and looked at compiling it on windows, however Win32 GUI applications are...

Hi All, I have trouble with embedding a Perl interpreter into a C program. I would like to replace some subroutine in a Perl script without changing this script from my C program. I need replace (override build-in function): print() and exit() functions. I know that in Perl script I can’t override print(), but for exit() function I can: use subs ‘exit’; sub exit { CORE::print “Overriding exit”; } exit(1);
