How to combine a process's ErrorStream and InputStream to one buffer?

R

Hello friends,

I am trying to write a process's prints into a log.

Using the Process API I can do this:

m_compileProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandline);
BufferedReader err = new BufferedReader(
new
InputStreamReader(m_compileProcess.getErrorStream()));
BufferedReader out = new BufferedReader(
new
InputStreamReader(m_compileProcess.getInputStream()));

But what I really need is to get the error stream and the output
stream to go into the same place.
How do I go about that??

thanks,
ruthie

There are two alternatives:
- use ProcessBuilder instead of Runtime.exec
- use shell redirection in the command itself
