linux - Strange behaviour of indirection operator > in bash -

i trying dump output command line time.txt file needed script.

(time echo "hi") > time.txt 

what observed output of time command going terminal.

real    0m0.000s user    0m0.000s sys     0m0.000s 

and output of echo command redirected time.txt

$ cat time.txt $ hi 

why ? i'm having hard time understand this. how can redirect output of time command file ?

i'm using ubuntu14.04 in case matters.

in is there way redirect time output file in linux there 1 answer redirects time.txt.

but in case want time.txt contain output of time command, not output of echo.

_{not sure why post got reopened.}
