Hi,

I need to redirect any standard output thrown when using a system call into
a Ruby variable. I tried to search for a solution but couldn't find anything
that worked. May be I am not using the right search terms.

Here is what I am trying to do.

begin

  `rm somefile`

end

If "somefile" doesn't exist the OS throws the message "rm: cannot remove
`somefile': No such file or directory" which I want to capture into a
variable.

Thanks,
