suppress TC output

rowlesmr

Hi all

is it possible to suppress any/all output from TC?

I've tried various verbose flags and keywords, but didn't seem to have any effect.

One option is just to send it to nul.

>tc inpfile "options go here" >> nul

Hi Matthew,

It's probably not quite what you want, but if you run tc from a python script you can suppress the cmd window altogether. We use something like:

import subprocess

err_stream = open('temp.err','w')
a = subprocess.call(command, creationflags=0x08000000, stdout=err_stream, stderr=err_stream)
err_stream.close()

where command is "tc.exe filename.inp"

Actually, pretty close.

I ended up using

subprocess.call(cmd1, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

I want the cmd window to output other diagnostics, and the TC output was cluttering it up.
