Re^3: formatting output from system call

We suggested to use qx() to execute the command and capture the output, into a variable like below, instead of creating file.

Ex:

use strict;
use warnings;
my $output = qx(date);
print $output;
[download]

After that you can use your regx on that variable and pull the output value.

All is well

That is the more sensible way to do this, I will research the qx command and apply it to my script. Thankyou for your help.	[reply]
