my question maybe quite straightforward or may have no solution. So, I ask you to kindly help me finding out how to access information of the stdout redirect to out.txt
node do-nothing.js < in.txt > out.txt
In particular I need to access the filename "out.txt" in the script do-nothing.js (i.e. accessing process.stdout.______)
Tips: I've already noticed that process.stdout._type become 'fs' instead of 'tty' while applying a redirection.
I got it. Here is the solution, if you launch the script as node stdout_redirect.js > out.txt && more out.txt
you have the sought information in the d
variable. Thanks for help and hope this help someone else.
var fs = require('fs');
fs.readdir(process.env.PWD,function(err, dir){
var stdout_ino = 0;
fs.stat('/dev/stdout',function(err,stats){
stdout_ino = stats.ino;
dir.forEach(function(d){
fs.stat(d,function(err,stats){
if (stats.ino === stdout_ino)
{
console.log(d);
}
});
});
});
});
