Re^3: system command and formatting

It works for me.

split.pl

$bar=$ARGV[0];
$lak=`$bar`;
print "$lak";
[download]

PHP file

<?php
$foo="ls";
$cmd="perl split.pl $foo";
$out=`$cmd`;
print "$out";
?>
[download]

Now the $out has the ls output. I think I understood your question. If not clarify me.

actually, in the php file, $foo="ID_106", its a string which has to be used in the system command. Example: `$foo="ID_106"; system("perl split.pl $foo");` [download] now, the $foo variable is passed to the perl program. the variable $foo is used for system command in perl. example: `$bar=$ARGV[0]; (the argument input, so now $bar="ID_106") $var=system("grep -A 1 $bar *.txt"); print $var;` [download] Over here, $var doesnt work :(	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I assume Over here, $var doesnt work means $var has nothing in it. Did you tried printing the $var to a file? When you said print $var, it prints the contents to the STDOUT, which is captured by the system function in PHP. So print $var seems not printing anything, but actually it has the output. `$bar=$ARGV[0]; $lak=system($bar); print $lak; #This will be captured by the system function in the PHP f +ile. open FH,">> llll"; print FH $lak;` [download] Now the file will also have the output	[reply] [d/l]
