hi...
i'm trying to play with running some apps from within a perl script. i'm
having some issues with figuring out how to capture the stdout that the app
would generate within the perl script...
a sample of code:
my $fcmd = "system function arg1 arg2";
my $res = qx{$fcmd};
my $res = `$fcmd`;
my $res = system($fcmd);
if ($res =~ /foo/)
{
it passes
}
else
{
it fails..
}
i'm trying to return the stderr/stdout of the function so i can parse it to
determine if the function/app failed/passed...
however, in all cases, $res has no value. if i run the content of $fcmd from
the command line, the command works ok, so i'm having an issue trying to
figure out exactly how to capture the actual output being returned/generated
by the $fcmd...
any thoughts/comments/examples would be greatly appreciated!!!
in looking through google, i would have thought i'm doing it correctly.. but
obviously i'm not!!!
thanks
