Hi there,
I am trying to do the following:
$string = system ("ping -a $hostname | cut -c20-30");This result returns 0 which is suppose to indicate success. But it never proves me wrong it always stays un-changed at 0.
More to the point. I am trying to store the value returned, which would be "is alive" in a string variable. How would I go about it.
I've tried $string = " ";
and then
$string .= $string + system ("ping -a $hostname | cut -c20-30");I'm lost!
