Hi all,
I have been writing a long script for last 7 days.I am stuck with a small problem.
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??
Thanks and Regards, Amit Kumar

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
Thanks Vinayak for your reply.
But I specifically need the name of file as my business logic says for archiving purpose.
Thanks and Regards, Amit

Pass it as a parameter, and use $1
#!/bin/sh
OUTFILE=$1 : : echo "Command: $command said" >> $OUTFILE echo `command` >> $OUTFILE
exit 0

Sometime Today, Devdas Bhagat assembled some asciibets to say:
#!/bin/sh
OUTFILE=$1 : : echo "Command: $command said" >> $OUTFILE echo `command` >> $OUTFILE
exec 1>$1 would also work
Nope devdas bhagwat's solution wasn't working and not ven yours.
It says.. line 1: $1: ambiguous redirect

perhaps you did not pass the file as the first argument. you need to call the program as:
$ program.sh outfile
no redirection operator.
