Unable to save xml output

See: https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/cppcheck/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=266

I'm using 1.49 and try the following to get the xml report to use with Hudson plugin:

cppcheck --xml --enable=all ./ > result.xml

But for some reason result.xml contains:

Checking error.c...
1/8 files checked 3% done
Checking fault.c...
2/8 files checked 6% done
Checking initialize.c...
3/8 files checked 15% done
Checking main.c...
4/8 files checked 31% done
Checking post.c...
5/8 files checked 35% done
Checking run_pump.c...
6/8 files checked 86% done
Checking standby.c...
7/8 files checked 92% done
Checking sxnpump.c...
8/8 files checked 100% done

Instead of what's displayed in the command prompt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results>
<error file="main.c" line="250" id="unusedVariable" severity="style" msg="Unused
variable: temp"/>
</results>

Any idea?

Finally figured it out. The xml stuff displayed on the command screen is in stderr so need to do something like this instead: cppcheck --xml --enable=all ./ 2> result.xml

Not sure if that's the normal behavior. Leaving as new for evaluation.

Well, reading the command line help helps:

    --xml                Write results in xml to error stream.

So, it is intentional behavior.
