I didn't check, but perhaps sox text output is going to stderr.  For Linux/UNIX, using many shells (sh, ksh, tsh, zsh, bash, but not csh), redirect stderr this way:

sox file.mp3 -n stat > file.txt 2>&1

Hello,

I’d like to save the output of the stat command to a file.

When I call
sox file.mp3 -n stat

The output is correctly displayed. But If I then do
sox file.mp3 -n stat > file.txt

file.txt is empty.

Why?

Thanks

Ariel
