Hi Monks,

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

i have used the below code and it works for me

can we store the value of unix command in some variable because when we execute the unix command it will either return 0 or 1, i want to store the value


chdir($dir);
    foreach my $file (@files) {
        if ($file=~ m/orig/) {
        my $lcmd = system("gunzip -c $file|tail -1");
}

[download]

Output:

123456|345627899292|000108418|

[download]

i want to store the value 123456|345627899292|000108418| in variable so that i can use substr to fetch '000108418'

Thanks a lot for the valuable inputs

thanks & regards,
