I found a good solution, here is the command:
ls > file1.txt | cat file1.txt > file2.txt
Not so wise OldWiseKing. :) I don't know what the pipe is for, but I don't think that will work. file2.txt will likely end up empty. Maybe you meant: ls > file1.txt; cat file1.txt > file2.txt What you really want as someone else mentioned is a tee as in: ls |tee file1.txt > file2.txt It's a lot cleaner and probably more efficient. -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
