shell - Error piping before output -
let’s have group of commands, , give error follows:
begin; echo “starting test"; ls; bad_command -xyz; end
if don’t redirect output or error results expected i.e.
starting test foo.txt someotherfile.png somedir unknown command: ‘bad_command’
however, pipe whole block textedit changing last line end 2&>1 | open -f -a textedit
error comes first in file, , order messed up. happens when piping other commands. why happen, , how can prevent that?
you having problem because pipes buffer stdout
not stderr
, , therefore getting stderr
output first. way solve not use pipes, , instead redirect output temporary file. then, work file need do.
