An issue about handling square bracket

[whn]

I wrote a autoinstallation tool in perl on linux.

While I install this package maunally, I see this message:

% rpm -ivh mypackage.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [COLOR=red][b][100%][/b][/color]
......
......

So in my code, I did this:

my $ret = `rpm -ivh mypackage.rpm`;
my @tmp = split(/\n/, $ret);
print "[COLOR=red][b]**[/b][/color]$tmp[0][COLOR=red][b]**[/b][/color]\n";

But, when I run this code, the output looks like this:

[COLOR=red][b]**[/b][/color]Preparing...                ##################################################[COLOR=red][b]**[/b][/color]

How can I catch '[100%]' in the output?

Thanks for your help.

print @tmp and see what all of the lines in the array are. I would assume it's in there somewhere.

Are you sure that "rpm" is printing the [xxx] to stdio?

Thank you Kevin and Pinkey. And sorry for the delay.

To Kevin, I actually printed '@tmp' and [xxx] is nowhere found.

To Pinkey, yes, I am positive that rpm is printing the [xxx] to the screen. but I just can not catch it in a perl variable.

I think what Pinkey means is that it's being printed to STDERR, not STDOUT. So it won't show up in the array, but you will see it on the screen.
