  Hello !

  This works, at least where popen is available

op = []

IO.popen("ls") do |l|
  op += l.readlines				
end
p op

  However, if you are on a Win box, my guess is it won't work... Use
backticks, then. Just for information, the argument of the block of
popen or open is an the IO object representing the file you opened.

  Cheers
