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

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.

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]
