/*
output = `command here`

Note the use of backticks (`), and note that only the command's stdout
is
redirected. For more complicated use there is IO.popen.
*/

until now i redirected the output from cvs update command  to a file, 
format looks like =

? subfolder1/file4.txt
? subfolder1/file5.txt

and parsed it with =

open($deployserver<<'/cvsout.txt').each { |x| 
newfiles<<'.'<<'/'<<x[2..-3]<<' ' }

to get all newfiles in a space separated string for the following
cvs add command

How to do that with the ` backquote method or IO.popen ?

f.e.

Dir.chdir(CVSWORKSPACE)
pipe=IO.popen(".../cvsnt/cvs.exe -d
:pserver:#{ENV["USERNAME"]}@cvsprod:d:/cvsrepos/test update")
??? how do i get the pipe contents into a space separated string ???
