Hi everyone, After using backticks to retrieve executable output, I would like to know if there is a backtick alternative.
For example, to get a File Listing on a Unix-based system, I will do the usual:
$exec = "ls -l"; $src = `$exec`;
Unfortunately, I find the ` to be unreadable and confusing because it looks like a quote.
Thanks in advance. -gohaku
