Hey all,
New to the list. The only reason I joined was because searching the =
archive is a joke. Try to search for something using more than one word =
and you get it all. hehe.
Anyway, I tryed a search and didn't find anything on this so here goes.
I need to retrieve the version number from differant programs. example: =
"perl -v", or "sendmail -bt -d0", etc..
The problem is that (for example perl) the program returns a bunch of BS =
that isn't needed. Does anyone know of a way to access this info =
easily? Maybe capture the return in a string and then parse to the =
numbers? Not sure how I should do this. Any info would be helpful. =
Thanks.
Chuck
