find can"t redirect my output to a file

$ find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2> /dev/null

With the above command, how would I redirect the output to a file?

I tried these unsuccessfully
$ find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2> /dev/null >> file1 !(no
output)
$ find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2> /dev/null | tee file1 !(no
output)

thanks,

Which OS?

try:

$ find / -name "*assw*" -print >/tmp/file1

Are there any errors beside "Permission denied"?

Because it does not find anything that matches "*assw*"?
Then it will create an empty file1 or append nothing.

Or it dies with "too many arguments" because /* has too many
matches? The 2>/dev/null suppresses the error message.

Try

find / -print 2> /dev/null | tee file1

I am sorry for not being more clear.

find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2> /dev/null

The above gives lots of output, but somehow I can't redirect it to a
file.
the below methods don't work, and file1 remains empty, the "tee"
option gives no output either.

$ find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2> /dev/null >> file1
$ find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2> /dev/null | tee file1

Thanks,

What OS/find are you using? Your first example works fine for me
using GNU find 4.2.31 in Slackware and the find in SCO Openserver.

I don't understand the question.

Within /bin/bash, for example, if I command
find /* -name "*assw*" -print 2>/dev/null > $SOMEFILE
I get the result I expect: $SOMEFILE fills up with lines of
filenames which contain "assw".

I don't see what this has to do with Tcl, where this has been
cross-posted, nor can I reproduce the non-results you describe
for "... >> file1" and so on.

Are you using csh or tcsh? If so, try
find /* -name "*assw*" -print >& file1

Re: find can"t redirect my output to a file

-------
I am using bash, I can do csh, but with either shell..

That works more or less, but without the "2> /dev/null" then the
output has all the errors. (Below)
and as long as I am redirecting the errors to "/dev/null" I can't seem
to also redirect them to a file.


host01% find /* -name "*assw*" -print >& file1

host01% more file1
find: cannot read dir /apps/lost+found: Permission denied
find: cannot read dir /apps/Spectrum/lib/SDPM: Permission denied
find: cannot read dir /apps/Spectrum/.ssh: Permission denied
