Ability to redirect stdout [Feature Request] #85

Closed TheArkive closed 9 months ago

TheArkive commented 1 year ago

I believe that #36 is having a similar issue that I'm having. Apparently qbt won't allow stdout to be redirected away from the console that calls it in Windows. Any time I try to redirect stdout I get an error message "The handle is invalid." Of course standard redirection works:

qbt torrent list > file.txt

But this requires disk usage, and I'm going to avoid that as much as possible.

But any other means of special handling/redirecting of stdout doesn't seem to be allowed at the moment. Fortunately for my uses I don't absolutely needs this, though it would be very nice.

Any chance of getting this feature in the future?

I cannot reproduce this issue, however I can recommend to use JSON or CSV output format for your use case. For example,

qbt torrent list -F json > file.txt
