Hi,

First I'm going to apologies - I'm a user of cygwin, not a hacker and I also
come from a windoze not a *nix background.  I'm having a problem
manipulating the output from time, I'd like to get just the 'real' time and
thought I could do something like:

$ time somecommand | egrep -e '^real'

but all combinations of std:out redirections fail to send the time
information into the grep instruction, they always get written to console.

Please, is there anyway to do this?

Thanks,

J.
