echo foo | tee -a test3.txt : terminal output is okay but test3.text starts with 3 characters of garbage before the string foo
echo foo | tee test4.txt : terminal output is okay and test4.txt is okay too So "tee -a" has the same issue as ">>" when creating a new file. BTW, I believe that the garbage characters that precede the text is an encrypted version of the text in the file. This Credant software is protecting my txt files by encrypting them. -- Bill -----Original Message----- From: Csaba Raduly [mailto:rcs...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 1:00 PM To: William Lebow Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: redirect-append (>>) creates garbage-y file On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 6:46 PM, William Lebow wrote: > Hi Csaba, > > Thank you very much for the reply.
