Indirection operator not working from QProcess

[sujan.dasmahapatra]

Dear Friends
I am trying to execute an external process for LINUX from within my QT application. Please see below.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
QProcess *process = new QProcess(this);
process->start("qsub runbatch | awk '{print $3}' > processID.dat");
process->waitForStarted(-1);
process->waitForFinished(-1);
process->terminate();
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This should execute
qsub runbatch | awk '{print $3}' > processID.dat
which is a LINUX command the ledt part of >
qsub runbatch | awk '{print $3}'
should return a process ID which is an interger and I want this to be written on a file
processID.dat
which I'll use later.

But I can see this process is not writing any file by name processID.dat
Can anyone help me to resolve this problem , why its not executing a LINUX process

Thanks in advance

QProcess executes a single process. It does not support shell features such as pipes, redirection, or parameter substitution.

However, you can read the output and write it to the file from within your program.
