Printing the output

Hi,

Thanks in advance. I am tring to prinnt the output of a command to a file, but getting the null values. Here is the part of my code,

my $s1 = "D:\\iw-home\\opendeploy\\OpenDeployNG\\bin\\iwodcmd start $ddCFG -k iwdd=dcr_to_db -k area=\\default\\main\\sha\\internet\\marylandroads\\Projects\\$branch\\WORKAREA\\workarea\\ -k filename=templatedata\\Project_Templates\\$fileType\\data\\$fileType -k project=123 -k need-result=yes";

my $output = `$s1`;

open(FILE, ">D:/iw-home/tmp/plcdatadepl3.txt");
print FILE $output;
close(FILE);

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jenni

Hi All,

I tried the following statement and it worked fine.

my $output = `$s1 2>&1`;

Thanks for your participation!

This is tangential to your issue but still... Note that it's a good idea to check the result of the operation that may
routinely fail (like open). With that your real issue (missed STDERR output) would have been easier to spot too

my $path = 'D:/iw-home/tmp/plcdatadepl3.txt';
if (open(FILE, ">$path")) {
   print FILE $output;
   close(FILE);
}
else {
   # Stdout or Log
   print qq(ERROR - Can not Open "$path", $!\n);
}
