Subject: How to capture the output of a call to Kernel.system

I suspect that this is an extremely simple question to answer.

How do you capture the output of a system call?

For example, if I do this:

>> x = system("date")
Thu Jun 18 13:00:00 CDT 2009
=> true
>> x
=> true

I would like to capture the output of the date command.  How do I do it?

Thanks,
Wes
