Flac log

[maxwas]

Hi All,

I am ripping CD's to WAV and then converting to FLAC. I would like to know how to generate a log file for the FLAC conversion, can anyone provide me with advice on how to go about doing this?

Many thanks,

Max

what tool are you using for flac conversion? if it is a graphical tool, then maybe there is logging supported within the app. if it is a command-line tool, then (assuming you are using bash), you can redirect STOUT and STDERR to file(s).

e.g.:

to redirect STDOUT

flac_convert file.in file.out 1 > /tmp/flac.log

to redirect STDERR

flac_convert file.in file.out 2 > /tmp/flac.err

to do the above redirections simultaneously

flac_convert file.in file.out 1 > /tmp/flac.log 2 > /tmp/flac.err

to redirect STOUT and STDERR to the same log

flac_convert file.in file.out > /tmp/flac-output.log 2>&1

to append to a file instead of overwriting it, use >>

flac_convert file.in file.out >> /tmp/flac.log 2>&1
