Does the output from the scripts go into a file or does the output print to the screen(standard out)? If it goes to a file then you need to open the file and read the info. If it goes to standard out you can do something like this to get the ouput.
@info=`/home/my/directory/<scriptname>` (the backtick not the single quote) I think this will take standard output from that script and put each line of code into the array @info.
