I think it's the same as perl, using the backtick operator, ie:

$result = `uptime`;

That's ` NOT '

Hi all!

If i want to use some shell commands and use the result it displays to
set a variable. How is this done?

Is there a way of doing it like you can do with Perl?
Anyone knows?

Thanks for all the tips you can give me, or better yet, if you know of a
tutorial somewere that covers this.

//Johan

Look at passthru() exec() and system() as well.

Cheers,
Brad
