Folks,
I have been searching perldoc, books and some online resources as to a way
to redirect output from exec() from stdout to a file (or possibly an array)
I am running the following (Thanxs to Paul for his skeleton code)
exec ( 'egrep'. "-c", $lookFor, @{$LOGS[($_ -1)]} )
basically, it is just forking a egrep -c looking for certain patterns in the
array of files.
the output is spewed on STDOUT, which is normal BUT I would like to have
that output
either (1) spewed to a flat file (2) spewed to an array/variable (preferably
this option)
Regards,
Ron
