Hi all, I am running some system 1

[fortytwo]

Hi all,

I am running some system commands using the line:

[tt]@input = `$command`;[/tt]

and it returns the output. When I enter something wrong however, like:

[tt]la -la /u/web/[/tt]

the array @input is empty, not containing any error message that the system might have thrown up. Is there any way to trap these?

Thanks.

Hi Will,

Try:

@input = `$command 2>&1`;

that should force any error messages onto stdout
