Re^2: Parsing output with a special format

I use the `system` commend.

my $test_output = system($cmd);

how can I iterate over it like you did with DATA.
maybe I should use: my @test_output = system($cmd);?

`my $test_output = system($cmd);` That won't work, since system returns the exit code and does not capture the command's output. I would recommend `capture` or `capturex` from IPC::System::Simple, which can give you an array of lines (`my @lines = capture($cmd);`). Otherwise, e.g. if the command's output is too large to be captured all at once, you could use a piped open, as I showed here along with other possible solutions.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
