Handling of stderr

[shamblett]

I've replaced a popen call I was using with this, works great except in one respect, in my original call I was using this " 2>&1" to pick up both stdout and stderr of my popened command and combine them, now it looks as though this is being ignored and stderr is being attached to the stderr of my calling process. I've looked at ignore_stderr and it is working as this describes, so this is not a bug as such.

Is it possible to detach stderr from the parent process and attach it to the stdout of my called command so I can read these back together?

This is a pending feature in the "wish-list": Make the "ignore_stderr" parameter a mode - ignore, leave unchanged, redirect to stdout. The last "redirect to stdout" isn't implemented, yet. I'll have a look to code in a few days, so that you can test it once done.

Thanks, I'll do the testing for you

All done. I've renamed the argument to "stderr_mode" but the position is the same. So just use "2" as a value, and you should be able to capture the STDERR output.

Works perfectly, thanks
