I am attempting to read results from command line output using thefsum executable(fsum is available: http://slavasoft.com/fsum/index.htm)I am unable to read results from the command line back to q, as in thefollowing command:a:system"fsum -sha1 -jnc c:\readme1.txt"It seems to return some sort of null value, while the followingcommand does show the proper output"fsum -sha1 -jnc c:\readme1.txt"In addition attempting to run commands that dump hashes to a file doesnot work from within q, i.e.:"fsum -sha1 -jnc c:\readme1.txt>output.txt"does not create a file when run from q, but does when run from the oscommand line.Suggestions?Overall I am trying to better learn how to use q to run programs atthe os command line, and to receive the results back into q, etc.
