Hi,
system will execute the command, and return only the exit status back.
Therefore u cannot trap the output into a variable.
If u want the output of a command into a variable, u can use backticks.
Example :
($output) = `date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`;
chomp $output;
This way, the output of the date
I want to get the output from the following command into an variable:
system("date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S");
I have tried:
$output = system("date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S");
But that does not work (only get 0 in that variable).
Please help!
Alexander
