system exec.vi Does NOT work with redirection

[an123]

I am writing a VI which is launching  a PERL script through CMD using the LabVIEW system exec.vi block.  I am trying to redirect the standard output to a text file. Based on the link below, I am told that this is impossible. I am wondering if anyone has figured out a way around this without using a batch file or something like that.  I want to use the redirection with the system exec block , and not have to add any extra steps.

That link doesn't say it is impossible.

It says you have to have it within a batch file and call the batch file to make it work.

What I mean is that it is impossible to directly do so, in my application, using the batch file is probably unacceptable. I need to be able to directly use cmd without that batch file trick.

Just for pure curiosity: what is the reason you exclude using a batch file? You can easily create a temporary batch file using LabVIEW, run it, then delete the file...
