Subject: Reading result of a command

Hi All,

I am using system("dir") to execute commands in Command Prompt.

I get the result(below) when I execute system("dir") command. I need to
store the result in an array.
I tried arr = system("dir") which stores true or false. Please throw
some light on this

Result:
===================================
 Volume in drive E has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 603F-F8C6

 Directory of E:\Temp

02/27/2009  07:05 PM    <DIR>          .
02/27/2009  07:05 PM    <DIR>          ..
03/03/2009  07:11 PM                65 t.rb
02/27/2009  06:22 PM             3,251 temp.rb
02/27/2009  07:05 PM             1,011 temp2.rb
               3 File(s)          4,327 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  22,208,159,744 bytes free
=====================================

Thanks,
Venkat
