Hi all!
I am confused as to how an old-good UNIX command, like

cat text.txt > new_tex.txt

can be used in PHP.
I tried
system (" cat text.txt > new_text.txt");

but it didn't work, the file new_text.txt was left blank.
Am I doing something wrong with the > ???
Must I use something else instead of 'system' ?

try this, it might work.

<?php 
echo '<pre>';
$last_line = system('cat text.txt > new_tex.txt', $retval)

echo '
</pre>
<hr />Last line of the output: ' . $last_line . '
<hr />Return value: ' . $retval;

?>
