Use backticks:

>> a = `ipconfig`
=> "\r\nWindows IP Configuration\r\n\r\n\r\nEthernet adapter Wireless
Network Connection 2:\r\n\r\n        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  .
: \r\n        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101\r\n
    Subnet Mask . . . . . .
. . . . . : 255.255.255.0\r\n        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . .
: 192.168.1.1\r\n"
>> a
