Thread: system command's output

i want to save a system command's output in a file without displaying it on screen. i thought of defining stdout to the file i want and haven't tested it yet. Any other ideas?

thanx

I have written this. It compiles fine, when i run it
the info file is created and hello world is written in the
file but then i get the "this program has performed an illegal
operation" error.
Error while opening file is not printed.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void copyFile (FILE * input, FILE * output)
{
    int c;
    while ( (c=getc(input)) != EOF)
        putc(c,output);
}


int main ()
{
    FILE * pr;
    system("hello > c:\\info"); //hello just prints hello world
    if ((pr = fopen("r","c:\\info")) == NULL)
	fprintf(stderr, "Error while opening info file");
    copyFile(pr, stdout);
    return 0;
}
