Re: Remote Shell (QShell) question - concatenate two files

AGlauser@xxxxxxxxxxxx skrev den 04-05-2007 14:41:
I'm used to the bash shell (Linux), so QShell isn't entirely unfamiliar to me, but I'm a bit confused here. The QShell documentation in the InfoCentre, says that I should be able to use the 'cat' command like so

cat file1 file2 file3 > all.files

to "display the contents of three different files at the same time and save their contents into a new file." This is what I would expect given my other Unix-type shell experience. However, if I run this in the Remote Shells view, I get the message that "The given command has syntactical errors". I ran it using STRQSH in iSeries Access for Windows, and it worked just as I would expect ... printed both files to the screen, and saved the combined contents in 'all.files'
My guess is that the >, <, and | directives are not supported
correctly. Can you run cat without trying to redirect?
