[Gambas-user] How to capture /dev/null to a string ?

[Bruce Steers]

not sure you can.
you would not use >/dev/null and capture the output.

I believe ffmpeg uses stderr to output some info

So try it with ">2&1"

Dim myString As String
Shell "ffmpeg -i audo.mp3 -af \"volumedetect\" -f null /dev/null 2>&1" To
myString

that redirects stderr to stdout and sends any output text to the myString
variable
