Summary:
SYMPTOMS Redirection of program input/output using the MS-DOS redirection symbols >, >>, <, and << does not work when these are used as command-line arguments within the QuickC environment.
CAUSE It is impossible to redirect input and output to/from the QuickC environment because the >, >>, <, and << redirection symbols are interpreted by COMMAND.COM instead of QC, QCL, or CL.
RESOLUTION If redirection is needed, the program must be run from MS-DOS and not via the Run command (F5 or Run-Go menu) in the QuickC environment. There are several options you can use to run a program that requires redirection:
1. Exit QuickC and run the program.
2. Use the MS-DOS shell feature from the QuickC File menu.
3. Use the Run DOS Command feature from the QuickC Utility menu.
This menu will also allow you to build a custom command for
this menu. A custom command is useful when testing because
you can run the program without exiting QuickC.
