I need to use the name of the Standard output file provided by the user in a shell script. for example:- ./myscript.sh > amit.txt so I need to use "amit.txt" somewhere into my shell scipt. So please tell me how can i fetch it. Can anybody help me??
You can mainpulate stdout fd using bash. You need not have the file name for that. Read the chapter on I/O redirection in the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ioredirintro.html http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html
