Hi there,

Could someone explain me please why while using unix command for example:

unix mkdir `$OS`

houdini creates this directory, but when I want to save $OS in the file with:

unix echo `$OS` ‘> test.txt’

doesn't…


Although:
unix echo “test” ‘>test.txt’

does.


Thanks for any help

aha - that is semi-solution

The workaround for storing names is to create a new variable (in settings>aliases and variables) and call this in the script.

have you tried just doing

echo $OS > test.txt

without the unix bit

Big thanks Simon!
