Cobra Interactive Query Language track

NAME

track — start or stop redirection of d/l/p output into a named file

SYNTAX

	t[rack] start filename
	t[rack] stop

DESCRIPTION

The first form of the track command starts redirection of all display, dp, list, and pre commands into the named file. No other output will be redirected to the file.

The second version of the command stops the redirection and closes the file.

Output from print statements in inline programs is also redirected.

Output from = print commands is not affected by the redirection.

EXAMPLES

	: !rm -f tmpfile
	: t start tmpfile
	: d
	: t stop

NOTES

It is an error if the named file already exists (i.e., the command will not overwrite an existing file).
