### data parsing occurs here
}Or if you don't mind waiting to parse the rsync output until rsync is completely done, you can just use backticks:
$rsync_output = `/usr/bin/rsync -avz /foo bar::baz`;
### parse $rsync_output here - you may want to use split to turn the string into a list, however
print $rsync_output;

When RSYNC runs in -v mode, I get the following output on, for example, /etc:
RSYNCing /etc ... ( <--- this line is generated by the shell script) building file list ... done ./ backup-daily.sh mail/statistics mtab wrote 26720 bytes read 68 bytes 17858.67 bytes/sec total size is 4176073 speedup is 155.89
RSYNCing /root ... ( <--- this line is generated by the shell script) building file list ... done wrote 387 bytes read 20 bytes 814.00 bytes/sec total size is 42133 speedup is 103.52
etc., etc.
I'm wondering if there's a way to format that data somehow. Really all I want to do is insert a tab infront of each RSYNC generated line. So the formatting with the rest of the script output is a bit nicer to read. Is this possible...somehow?
