Re: Re: Redirecting OUTPUT of system($command) to an array

Ok --- I believe this is headed on the right track but... I get the following error: (line 13) is the first line of code that you suggested in your original response:

$ ./linkSNR2.pl
Can't exec "spawn /bin/bash
": No such file or directory at ./script.pl line 13.
No such file or directory at ./script.pl line 13.
$
[download]

my line 13:

my $pid = open my $sys, "-|", `$command` or die $!;
[download]

The OS I am running on is Sun Solaris 8.
ANy additional thoughts on this matter? Their must be some sublty that I am missing.
Thanks Again for your help!

You have $command in single quotes, which do not interpolate the variable's value. You're trying to execute literal '$command'. Update: Oops, no, that's backticks. Worse yet. You're trying to execute a file named by the text output by $command. After Compline, Zaxo	[reply]

Yep, the two solutions here (using backticks or using open) aren't meant to be combined...	[reply]

Sorry first post system("ls > holder.log"); #send the directory listing to a holder file open( TMPFILE, "holder.log" ) \|\| die "Failed to create log file: $!\n"; @dirlist = <TMPFILE>; #read in the directory from the file to the array $fh = join(" ", @dirlist); #convert the array into a scalar for pattern matching close( TMPFILE ); #tidy up system("rm holder.log");	[reply]
