Where has my output gone???

[Andrew Walrond]

I run my ruby script, and it produces lots of output

I run the same script, but redirect the output to a file (bash shell using >),
no output!

Whats going on? I just know there is a simple answer, and I have a nagging
feeling that its been discussed here before...

Help...quick...please... before I pull _all_ my hair out!

TIA

Is there any chance that your program is outputting to stderr instead of
stdout?

Did you wait until your script actually terminated? If not, you probably
became a victim of buffering. Try $stdout.sync=true or $>.sync=true at
the start of the script instead of pulling hair out.

Kind regards

Damn. I should have known that.

Thanks Robert!
