From: Meino Christian Cramer Date: 2004-06-21T00:33:52+09:00 Subject: Subprocesses on UNIX/Linux Hi, How can I call a subprocess ( like "ls -l" ) and get back the output of that process without creating temporary files ? "Exec" does not work for me, since it will not return, and "system" returns, but only with "true" or "flase" in its luggage... Any help is very appreciated ! :O) Kind regard, Meino
