suppress warning messages
 

from my previous post, on how to write the output of a command to a string; to extend it:

i'm now using system() to execute a command. it writes the output to the file i want, but also prints some messages and warnings to std out. is there a way i can suppress these messages which arent written to file?

thanks in advance (again).

Are you sure they aren't going to stderr?

If they are, and you are doing shell stuff (like maybe bash?) you can try adding ' 2>/dev/null' to the end of your command.

perfect - thank you very much.
cant really tell you how much help i got out here - ok, i think 4 times, but 4/4 is super.
