Hi,

I have the output of a backquoted command i.e.

$result=`cat $file | anotherscript.pl`;

Does a backquoted command automatically get output to stdout as well as into the string $result?

My question is this: The output looks like:

Script version 1.7

12345 hashes read from
1 database

3 read, 2 found, 2 written
ID123 ZZ00000077
ID456 ZZ00000012
ID124 NONE

What i would like to do is build up a hash of the found items i.e with IDnnn as the key and the ZZ identifier as value. I would also like a hash/array of any NONE found items again with IDnnn as key and NONE as value or if array, just IDnnn pushed onto it.

I dont particularly want the output of the command output to stdout either

I have tried a regular expression to get at the NONE lines such as : 

@res = split /\n/, $result;
foreach $element (@res){

   if ($element=~/(.*NONE)$/m){
       push @none, $element;
   }
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Joe
