is there a way to save the output of a system call as a variable to print later
and suppress the initial printing of the output of the call to the terminal?? ########### my $keepStat; $keepStat = system "stat $inputScratch"; ## I DON"T WANT THIS TO PRINT ##################################### AS SOON AS IT'S PERFORMED print ".........". $keepStat . "..........\n"; ## I DO WANT IT TO PRINT NOW ################################## '0' is printed, instead of the 'stat' output ########### -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
