- Does anyone know if there is any way of capturing the output
- of a command run by the 4GL RUN command into an Informix 4GL
- variable?
-
- EG I want to say something like:
-
- LET string=RUN "tail -1 /tmp/somefile"
-
- The output I want to catch will always be only one line long.
- I'm running i4gl version 4 (standard engine).
-
- Comments and suggestions gratefully received!
-
- Please Email me, as my newsfeed seems to be a bit shakey at
- the moment.
-
- Thank you!
