Re: Storing system grep's output to an array in perl

[vinoth.ree]

system() executes the command specified but it doesn't capture the output of the command.

system() will return the exit status of the command as returned by the 'wait' call.

Update:

Use backtick(``) to capture the specified command's output.

my @array = `grep -i "top-" filename | awk '(print $3)'`;
